Miguel Vargas homered twice to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 9-5 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Friday night in the opening game of what multiple outlets characterized as a critical series. Per ESPN, Peters and Murakami also went deep in a five-run inning for the Sox. Vargas finished with four hits, three runs scored, and three RBIs, according to reporting from multiple outlets.
There was some discrepancy in the coverage: Yahoo Sports reported that Ben Malgeri hit two home runs, a detail not mentioned in other accounts of the game. The White Sox's offensive output—four home runs total—proved decisive in securing the win over Detroit.
