CHICAGO -- After losing 12 times in 17 games to the contending Detroit Tigers, the Chicago White Sox hit their Central Division rivals where it hurt on Tuesday night.Jose Abreu hit his fifth homer in seven games, Miguel Gonzalez came off the disabled list to pitch 6 1/3 innings of six-hit ball and the White Sox cooled off the Tigers 2-0.Detroit fell one game behind Baltimore for the second AL wild card and stayed 4 1/2 games behind first-place Cleveland in the division.Always, Gonzalez said when asked whether the outcome had more significance against a division foe. Were here to compete. Were not going to give in until the last day of the season. Thats what were all about.The Tigers went 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position and left nine men on in their fourth loss in 15 games.Abreu connected off Matt Boyd (5-3) in the second for his 23rd homer as Chicago got its third win in nine games.Gonzalez (3-6) struck out four in his first start since Aug. 11 following a groin injury.Gonzo was great, manager Robin Ventura said. I dont know if you could expect much more out of him, coming off the DL and against a line-up like this, to be able to come back.Nate Jones retired four straight hitters before David Robertson worked around a hit and a walk in the ninth for his 34th save in 41 tries to complete the seven-hitter. J.D. Martinez led off with a drive down the left-field line, but a replay review ruled it to be a foul ball, not a home run.It was foul, Robertson said. I knew it right away. I needed one instant replay to go my way.Martinez followed with a single and Erick Aybar walked with one out, but Jarrod Saltalamacchia popped out and pinch-hitter Tyler Collins struck out in Detroits 10th shutout of the season.Minor league call-up Jason Coats doubled in the fifth and scored on Omar Narvaezs single as the White Sox improved to just 14-32 against the AL Central since May 23.Gonzalez retired nine straight until allowing singles to Martinez and call-up Casey McGehee in the seventh. Dan Jennings came in and issued a walk to load the bases. Then Jennings struck out pinch-hitter Jacoby Jones and Nate Jones fanned Cameron Maybin to end the threat.Boyd allowed two runs and eight hits while striking out six in seven innings. He has allowed three or fewer runs in his last 10 starts.The other guy was a few pitches better than me, Boyd said. Just got to be a little better.THE FUTURE IS NEARWith the White Sox on the way to a fourth straight losing season, the status of Ventura and the direction of the team is uncertain.Its not a situation any of us wanted to be in, GM Rick Hahn said before the game.

DETROIT -- Detroit Tigers right-hander Mike Pelfrey will not be activated off the disabled list when he becomes eligible this week. The 32-year-old starter, who is suffering from a lower back injury, said he wont make a rehab start for another week to 10 days.After that, he will require at least two rehab appearances to build up the strength in his arm, manager Brad Ausmus confirmed in his pregame press briefing on Monday.Pelfrey said he suffered a strain of the multifidus muscle near his spine and was placed on the disabled list after his back locked up earlier this month. Following that episode -- he had to be helped up by his teammates -- he also experienced pain and back spasms. Those symptoms have since subsided, but Pelfrey will take a steady approach toward his return rather than risk reaggravating the injury.I think Im getting old, Pelfrey joked. Thats the first time I pulled a muscle. I dont think that happens when youre younger.The 6-7 Pelfrey (4-9, 4.76 ERA) began physical therapy last week and has noted improvement ever since. He is now playing catch and will throw a side session on Friday, according to Ausmus.Following a rough start to his tenure inn Detroit, Pelfrey, who inked a two-year, $16 million contract this offseason, appeared to be pitching with increased efficiency in recent starts.dddddddddddd Prior to his injury, he threw five scoreless innings on July 31 against the Houston Astros. He was placed on the 15-day DL on Aug. 2.Right now, I think my whole mindset is just trying to get back and pitch, said Pelfrey, who had to refrain from traveling with the team on its recent road trip as well. I didnt really feel like Im part of the team for two weeks, being gone, so the whole thing is, I just want to get back and pitch and help these guys out.The Tigers are without two of their five starters with Jordan Zimmermann (neck) also on the DL. The Tigers, who are limping along with injuries to third baseman Nick Castellanos (hand), shortstop Jose Iglesias?(hamstring) and center fielder Cameron Maybin (thumb), received some positive news on the injury front on Monday. Maybin is feeling better and is expected to begin a hitting progression within the next few days, Ausmus said. ' ' '
