A huge Salty win takes the sting away from those darn two losses to the angels ..
Just a tad though.

Webvideo Highlights of the Tigers 4 - 3 win over the whitesox.
Alex Wilson: Entered the game in the fifth with no outs and a two-on situation. He got a quick double play and a snappy unassisted third out to first base to quietly end the threat. He repeated his performance in the sixth with an easy 1-2-3 inning and two strikeouts. His home run in the seventh notwithstanding, overall he pitched well and the offense just didn?t show up.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia: Knocked a two-run dinger out just far enough in right-center to hand the Tigers a win.
Justin Upton: You dinger, you get a roar. Obviously.
Tigers offense: Stagnant, despite multiple scoring chances.
J.D. Martinez: The usually hot J.D. came up empty against Chicago. He had a double in the fourth and walked to start the eighth, but when he was responsible for a total of five baserunners split between two innings, he struck out, ending both frames.
STATS AND INFO:
Justin Upton?s game-tying home run in the sixth was his 18th of the year.
In nine full seasons at the MLB level (he played 43 games in 2007 at age-19) he?s had less than 18 three times, his last coming in 2012. Two of those he finished with 17 homers, the third with 15.
The home run allowed by Alex Wilson was the first long ball he?d given up since May 28 when he allowed four runs on five hits in two-thirds of an inning. He also gave up two doubles in that outing.
The seventh-inning homer given up by Alex Wilson was just his third allowed this year.
After giving up a home run on May 28, Alex Wilson went 40 consecutive innings without allowing a home run until the dinger on Monday night.
That ties him with the Red Sox?s Robbie Ross for the fourth-longest homerless streak by innings pitched in the American League for 2016.
Blue Jays? Joe Biagini has the AL record this year, at 54 1⁄3 innings.
