What a day at Comerica Park - sellout crowd of 42,888 sees Porcello pitch a gem, Tigers take over first place with 7-1 win over White Sox.

Porcello and Sale dueled thru 4 scoreless innings, then Sox scratched out run in 5th on GB single, bounceout, bloop single to take 1-0 lead.

Tigers came right back in bottom of 5th...w/ 2 outs, Laird singled, Worth blooped a single, and Jackson brought both home w/ double up RCF gap.

2-1 lead more than enough for Porcello...sinker was good, mixed in slider, curve & change, some hard-hit balls early, none from 4th thru 8th.

This was a great start for Porcello, and it was an absolute roar when he came out of the dugout to start the 9th....gave you chills....

Porcello was going for 1st-ever CG, but gave up 2 line drive hits to start 9th, bringing on Benoit, who got final 3 outs- K'd Dunn to end it.

All Tigers runs scored on 2-out hits for 2nd straight day...Boesch 3-run HR in 6th made it 5-1, Jackson 2-run single in 8th made final 7-1.

Of the 48 Runs Tigers have scored since AS break, 35 have scored on 2-out, RBI hits, including 15 of last 16 runs...

Porcello's final line: 8IP, 5H, 1ER, 0BB/4K...Tigers starters last 4G - 31IP, 14H, 8BB, 29K, and just 5ER (1.45ERA).

More than 87,000 have jammed ballpark last two games....and they have made a lot of noise...Tigers have won 14 of last 18G at home...

Jackson matched career high with 4RBI today, Boesch now has 6 doubles, 3HR and 14RBI in last 13G.

Tigers are in first by 1/2 gm over Sox...need to sweep to stay in 1st. Jacob Turner goes for Tigers tomorrow vs. Humber for Sox. On the air at 12:40.

Tigers defeat WhiteSox 7-1 to move into first place in Central Division for first time since May 1.

Tigers Porcello: It would have been nice, obviously. But it didn't happen. (finishing game).

Tigers Porcello: I let the 1st 2 guys get on and u can't expect to stay in the game after that happens. It was nice to be out there in the 9th.

Tigers Porcello on standing O: I wasn't really expecting it but it was awesome. I had chills going down my spine after that.

Tigers Porcello: It was actually almost a little bit hard to control my emotions there in the ninth.

Tigers Porcello: I'm just happy we got the win, that's the most important thing. Hopefully we can stay in first place from here out.

Tigers Porcello: Any starting p wants 2 b out there in the 9th inning and have a chance to finish the game and go the distance but I'll take a win.

Tigers Porcello: I think we all knew that we had the potential. I think we knew we had to do it on the field.

Tigers Porcello: On paper, you can say whatever you want but if you don't perform on the field it means nothing.

Tigers Porcello: We all believed in each other and we've still got a lot of work to do. This isn't over yet, this is just getting started.

Tigers Porcello: You want 2 go out there & do well, you want to do well for your teammates, you want to do well for your organization and for your fans.

Tigers Porcello: It doesn't mean anything until the last day's over with and we're in first place and we make the playoffs.

Tigers Porcello: I know from my case if I have two outs and someone gets a big hit or something like that, that's the dagger.

Tigers Porcello: You're almost out of the inning with no damage and then somebody comes up with a clutch hit, it's one of the worst things.

Tigers Porcello: Going from one run to a four-run lead is obviously a big difference. It's definitely nice when you can put up those runs.

Tigers Laird: When you're going through a tough streak like we were, it's hard to look at the positives b/c you keep losing.

Tigers Laird: But we've kind of found our groove a little bit. Guys are coming to the bpk now expecting and knowing that we're going to win.

Tigers Laird: I knew exactly what type of ballclub we had here and it was just a matter of time we would win 16 out of 20 or 16 out of 22.

Tigers Boesch: I was really having trouble with that slider but he left it out over the plate and I was able to drive it.

Boesch: The fans pay money to see good baseball and we weren't playing good baseball early on.

Boesch: They also want to see a championship team and championships aren't won in April.

Boesch: So we stayed the course & we're continuing to stay the course & this team knows that we're going to be in there at the end.

Tigers win 7-1 to take first 2 from White Sox, and claim sole possession of 1st in AL Central for 1st time since 4/22..4/26..5/1. who cares since when first place right now and moving forward.

Leyland on Porcello: "He was terrific today. He was going to have to be, going against who we were facing."

Leyland on Porcello (2/3): "Sale?s a really good-looking pitcher, one of the best in the league".

Leyland on Porcello: "... and Rick was going to have to be stingy today for us to win this game. And he was more than that. He was great."

Two out runs golden? "Those are back-breakers, normally. Yes." ? Jim Leyland, whose Tigers have scored 38 of 51 post-ASG runs w/ 2 outs.

Leyland: "Those are back-breakers. It looks like you might get out of it, take a little sigh of relief, and ? BANG ? somebody hits a 2B."

Leyland on 2-out hits: "That?s one thing I know I?m right about: Those are golden."

Leyland to FOX's Karros pregame: "I told him, ?I?m playing Boesch today, and he might strike out 3 times, but he might hit a 3-run HR, too'"

Leyland on Boesch: "The more confidence Boesch gets, the better off it is for all of us, because he?s so hard on himself."

Leyland on Porcello's chance at CG: "I thought he deserved that chance. He was in pretty good command."

Leyland on Porcello: "I thought he deserved the chance to get the complete game, but you can?t mess around in this league."

Leyland on Boesch breaking game open: "That relaxes everybody a little bit ? including the pitcher, including the manager."

Leyland: "Timely hitting is just huge up here: A lot of times you get 10 hits in a game, but when did you get them, and what did they mean?"

Leyland: "Sometimes, you get 10 hits, and they mean a lot. Other nights you get 10 hits, and they don?t mean near as much."

Leyland: "Like I said, I knew we had good Pitchers, and I knew they?d pitch good. When you get everybody rolling at the same time, that?s bonus time."

Leyland: "Hopefully we can do that for the next couple of months, get everybody rolling."

Boesch on 2-out rallies: "Probably guys are feeding off each other, and I think everyone right now wants to be up in those situations."

Boesch on Tigers' 2-out rallies: "I know for an offense, it just gives you a lot of confidence that the inning?s never over."

July 22 in Tigers and mlb history:

1909: For the first of four times in his career, Ty Cobb steals second base, third, and home in an inning, doing it in the 7th against Red Sox pitcher Harry Wolter. It is also Ty's first swipe of home in his career, Ty will steal home a total of 54 times. The Tigers beat Boston 6 - 0.

1941 - Dick Wakefield becomes baseball's first "bonus baby" when he signs with the Tigers for $52,000 and a new car. The University of Michigan standout will hit .143 in seven at-bat this season but will eventually turn into a solid outfielder batting .293 over parts of 9 seasons.

1952 - Detroit's Virgil Trucks gives up one hit in beating Washington 1 - 0.

1956 - The Hall of Fame announces special rules governing elections. Writers should vote every two years, alternating with the Veterans Committee; because of criticism, this will revert back in 1962. To be eligible, players must have been retired for five years.

1969 - For the first time, the All-Star Game is postponed due to rain.

1993: Kansas City's Greg Gagne hits a home run off Detroit's Mark Leiter in the Royals' 12 - 6 victory. The home run is the 10,000th hit in the long history of Tiger Stadium, making it the first ballpark to reach that figure. During the game, Detroit 3B Travis Fryman draws a walk off KC P Enrique Burgos, then proceeds to circle the bases on three wild pitches by Burgos.
