Murakami hits 3-run homer, White Sox top Tigers 3-1 to move into 1st place tie in AL Central

Bryan Hudson (5-4), the second of four White Sox pitchers, got four outs for the win. Grant Taylor went the final 2 1/3 innings for his ninth save.

Chicago rebounded from a 6-3 loss at Cleveland on Wednesday that knocked them out of a share of first for the first time since July 4. Both the Guardians and White Sox are 78-75.

The White Sox are trying to become the first team in MLB history to make the postseason after losing 100-plus games in each of the previous two seasons.

Gleyber Torres drove in the Tigers' run in the third inning on a fielder's choice.

Murakami’s three-run homer, a 423-foot three-run drive to center in the first, was just the Japanese rookie’s third in his last 28 games. He launched the first pitch he saw, a high sinker from Framber Valdez.

Murakami also had a triple and struck out twice and is batting .111 in his last 28 games.

White Sox starter Erick Fedde allowed one run on four hits in 4 2/3 innings. He struck out six, walked two and hit a batter before Hudson relieved.

Valdez (10-11) yielded three runs on three hits in five innings. He struck out eight and walked four.

With two outs in the fifth, Torres was held to a single on a drive to the base of the left-field wall on a quick retrieval by left fielder Randal Grichuk.

Dillon Dingler followed with a double and Hudson entered and struck out Riley Greene. Spencer Torkelson led off the sixth with a liner to the left field corner, but Grichuk threw him out at second.

Up next Tigers LHP Andrew Sears (0-1, 5.40 ERA) faced White Sox RHP David Sandlin (2-2, 5.64) on Friday.
