Kinsler, Cabrera homer as Tigers beat White Sox 2-1

CHICAGO (AP) — Ian Kinsler hit his 20th home run, Miguel Cabrera added his 19th and the Detroit Tigers the struggling Chicago White Sox 2-1 in a game that was called after more than a two-hour rain delay in the seventh inning Thursday.

A heavy downpour before the bottom of the seventh sent players and umpires running for cover at U.S. Cellular Field. And after two hours, five minutes the game was finally called.

The Tigers opened a seven-game trip on a winning note while the White Sox have now dropped seven of eight.

Kinsler and Cabrera made it 2-1 with solo homers against James Shields (4-12) in the fifth. Mike Pelfrey (3-9) won for just the second time in nine starts, and the Tigers came out on top after dropping two of three against Minnesota.

Adam Eaton had three hits and scored for Chicago. Shields gave up two runs and seven hits in six innings, but the White Sox continued their slide after going 1-5 on a trip to the Los Angeles Angels and Seattle.
