White Sox 4, Tigers 3  (75-49)

The White Sox made it three straight wins with a close on over the Tigers.  The White Sox took a 2-2 tie into the eighth, took the lead in the eighth and then added an insurance run in the ninth.  That last run was much needed because the Tigers scored one in the ninth but were held back before they could tie the game.

Roy Patterson struck out eleven and gave up three runs on eleven hits.  Fielder Jones, Frank Isbell and Jiggs Dononhue each had two hits and a run in the win.
