Mike Pelfrey struck out seven of his former teammates over five innings, as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Detroit Tigers 8-2 Friday night. Pelfrey worked his way out of a bases-loaded jam in the fourth inning, in a game that was delayed 85 minutes because of rain. Matthew Boyd struggled, giving up three runs on nine hits before leaving in the fourth inning. Blaine Hardy and Chad Bell surrendered the other five runs in relief. Alex Avila homered for Detroit.
