DETROIT -- Alex Rios hitting prowess on Tuesday night impressed his teammate Adam Dunn. Rios tied an American League mark with six hits in a nine-inning game and the White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 11-4. "That takes people like me, two, maybe three weeks, to get six," Dunn said. Dunn hit a go-ahead, two-run homer off Justin Verlander in the eighth and he hit an RBI single in his second at-bat of the seven-run inning in which the White Sox broke open a 1-1 game. The last-place White Sox, who had lost four straight, finished with a season-high 23 hits and a season high in runs. "Its a good feeling to get a win -- those have been few and far between -- but just kind of the way we did it," Dunn said. Rios became the 32nd AL player to have six hits in a nine-inning game and the first in franchise history since Lance Johnson pulled off the feat in 1995 at Minnesota. "Its been the most fun weve had in a quite a while," Rios said. "Weve had some tough times, but it shows we havent quit." Dayan Viciedos second homer of the game helped the White Sox score seven runs in the eighth inning, and they scored three more runs in the ninth to surpass a season high for scoring. Miguel Cabrera hit his 29th homer, an impressive blast to left-centre, in the eighth inning to give him a major league high 92 RBIs and .363 batting average. He broke the franchise record for homers before the All-Star game, surpassing the total Cecil Fielder had at the break in 1990 during his 51-homer season. In the top of the eighth, Cabrera appeared to hurt his back by leaping for a high throw. "Hes not 100 per cent and thats why hes not going to take part in the home run contest," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "I talked to him and we talked to the trainers, and on the trainers advice, hes not going to do it. It would be pretty ridiculous to risk that." Verlander (9-6) gave up a season-high 12 hits, five runs and struck out three to match a season low in seven-plus innings. "Just one of those days that happens at this level, at this time of the year," he said. "Felt good, but just wasnt able to execute there in the eighth." Rios singled in the first, tripled in the third and also singled twice in the eighth inning. He also singled in the fifth and ninth innings. "Hes as good as anybody in this league," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "Tonight is indicative of that. Hes hitting and running the bases great." Rios hit his first single in the eighth inning and stole second and scored on Dunns 24th homer that put the White Sox ahead 3-1. The White Sox followed with two straight singles to end Verlanders night after 112 pitches. The All-Star won his previous start, pitching seven scoreless innings in a win over Toronto, after giving up 12 runs in his previous three outings. Jose Quintana (4-2) gave up three runs and six hits over eight innings, winning for the first time since May 21. "Im really happy for Q," Dunn said. "Hes pitched so good for us, and we just havent been able to score runs. Obviously, we havent scored runs for all our pitchers, but him and (Chris) Sale for sure." Viciedo had the first multihomer game of his four-year career. His second home run, a three-run shot, came on the second pitch Al Alburquerque threw in an outing that didnt last an inning. Alburquerque retired just two batters and gave up three runs and four hits. Phil Coke replaced Alburquerque with two outs, and gave up another hit. Quintana didnt have much trouble keeping the AL Central-leading Tigers quiet at the plate. Detroit didnt make the most of an opportunity with two runners in scoring position and one out in the second. Quintana got out of the jam by striking out Matt Tuiasosopo and Hernan Perez. Verlander stranded runners at second and third by striking out Dunn in the fifth. In the home half, Tuiasosopo sent a 1-2 pitch over the left-field wall to give Detroit a 1-0 lead. Viciedo hit a two-out, game-tying homer in the sixth. The White Sox had a runner on in the seventh, and wasted a chance to score a go-ahead run because Alejando De Aza ran toward second when Alexei Ramirez popped up in foul territory to Prince Fielder, who threw the ball to Verlander at first base for a double play. Detroits Don Kelly hit a solo homer in the ninth. NOTES: Detroit put 2B Omar Infante on the 15-day disabled list and Perez, recalled from Double-A Erie, started in his place. Infante hasnt played since last Wednesday, when he was hit hard by Torontos Colby Rasmus, who was sliding into second base. He is expected to be OK after the All-Star break. ...

Robert Newhouse Youth Jersey .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. PHOENIX -- Arizonas bullpen was depleted, its players tired after a 14-inning game the night before. What the Diamondbacks needed a long and strong outing from Wade Miley. The left-hander didnt look as if hed be able to give it to them early, but sure finished strong. Miley pitched eight effective innings after a shaky start and Martin Prado lined a two-run single in the eighth inning, helping the Diamondbacks end a three-game losing streak with a 5-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday night. "We had to stick with him, we didnt have a lot of length out in the bullpen," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "We just wanted him to hang in there." The Diamondbacks were a bit thin on pitchers for the series opener after using eight in Wednesday nights 7-5, 14-inning loss to the Dodgers. They also figured to be a bit tired following the five-hour game that ended after midnight. Miley (6-7) didnt look as if hed be much help, giving up a pair of homers in the first three innings. After those early mistakes, he started settled into a rhythm and so did the Diamondbacks offence after struggling early against Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo Adam Eaton helped Arizona close to 3-2 with a two-run triple in the fifth inning, Jason Kubel tied it with a sacrifice fly the next inning and Prado capped the comeback with the bases loaded against Jim Henderson (3-3) in the eighth. Brad Ziegler worked around two baserunners in the ninth to earn his second save, a night after Heath Bell blew a save with two outs in the ninth in the loss to the Dodgers. "Everybody knows what happened last night and I was just trying to go as deep as possible," Miley said. "I was fortunate that I started feeling better at the game went along, got into a better rhythm and get through eight." Milwaukee jumped on Miley early, going up 3-0 on a two-run homer by Jonathan Lucroy and a solo shot by Carlos Gomez. The Brewers managed one hit off him the rest of the way and went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position to kick off the four-game series with a loss. "We did have a chance to get him early," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "What it really comes down to his they got a big hit and we didnt. We had a couple of chances and we didnt get big hits." Miley gave up four hits in the first inning, a long two-run homer by Lucroy. He left another pitch up in the third and Gomez hit it oout for a solo homer that put the Brewers up 3-0.dddddddddddd Miley settled down after that, retiring 13 straight batters -- with help from a diving catch by Gerardo Parra in right in the seventh inning -- until Aoki led off the eighth with an infield single. Miley allowed three runs and eight hits. Unlike the night before, when Bell had Arizonas 19th blown save of the season, the Diamondbacks closed it out. Ziegler hit leadoff hitter Richie Weeks and gave up a single to Juan Francisco, but got the final two outs with runners on the corners to finish it off. "It was huge, gives a couple of guys some days off and rest mentally, physically, everything," Miley said. "It was huge for him to get those three outs. Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo has dominated the Diamondbacks during his career, going 6-0 with a 1.62 ERA in eight career starts before Thursday. He was sharp early against Arizona again, getting the Diamondbacks to pound balls into the ground while holding them hitless until Paul Goldschmidts one-out single in the fourth inning. The Diamondbacks strung together a couple of hits in the fifth inning and Eaton, playing his third game since coming off the DL, reached down for a two-run triple for his first hit of the season. Kubel tied it with a sacrifice fly off Gallardo in the sixth inning. Gallardo allowed three runs and four hits in six innings. "I got into trouble on my own," Gallardo said. "I tried to do too much and tried to make the perfect pitch and get out of it then the next thing you know the ball is up instead of trusting my stuff. Trust what I was doing in the earlier innings." NOTES: Brewers LF Ryan Braun, who was expected to return to the lineup after missing a game with a sore thumb, will be out at least three games on bereavement leave. The Brewers said he left the team to attend to a family medical issue. ... Arizona 2B Aaron Hill was 0 for 4, the first time in 13 career games against Milwaukee hes failed to get a hit. ...
