Detroit's only scoring play came in the eighth, when Riley Greene scored on Max Clark's sacrifice fly. Chicago answered with Munetaka Murakami's bases-loaded walk, which brought Tristan Peters home, and Randal Grichuk's sacrifice fly brought Kyle Teel across.
The White Sox extended their winning streak, while the Tigers absorbed another loss. In a game shaped by pitching control, Martin's steady start gave Chicago the platform to pull away.
