Nicholas Castellanos hit two home runs, as the Detroit Tigers defeated the Chicago White Sox 7-5 yesterday. Castellanos slugged a three-run shot in the third inning, and added a two-run blast in the fifth. Returning from the disabled list, starter Jordan Zimmermann threw four shutout innings, but allowed four runs in the fifth. The Sox tied it with a run off Drew VerHagen in the sixth. José Iglesias singled home the game-winner off former Tiger Bruce Rondón in the eighth, and Rondón then walked Niko Goodrum with the bases loaded to force in an insurance tally. Buck Farmer worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the seventh inning, and got the win. Shane Greene earned his 19th save.
