CHICAGO -- Justin Upton had won consecutive games with late-inning homers and he came up as the tying run in the ninth inning on Tuesday night.Upton struck out on a ball in the dirt. It was that kind of night for the Detroit Tigers.Jose Abreu hit his fifth homer in seven games, Miguel Gonzalez came off the disabled list to throw 6 1/3 innings of six-hit ball and the Chicago White Sox cooled off Detroit 2-0.The Tigers went 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position and left nine men on in their fourth loss in 15 games.We put ourselves in position to score runs and they didnt let us, Upton said. Thats part of it.Detroit wasted a chance to move closer to AL Central-leading Cleveland, which fell to Houston 4-3. The Tigers fell one game behind Baltimore for the second AL wild card after the Orioles beat Tampa Bay 11-2.Youve got to execute, man, center fielder Cameron Maybin said.The Tigers had numerous chances. They had two on and one out in the ninth. They left the bases loaded in the seventh. They left two on in the fourth and Maybin was doubled off first base on a fly ball to right with a runner already on second in the third.I was just a little over-aggressive, Maybin said. Its unfortunate, kind of ran us out of the inning.Abreu connected for a solo shot off Matt Boyd (5-3) in the second for his 23rd homer while reaching base safely for the 32nd time in 33 games amid a late-season surge.Gonzalez (3-6) struck out four in his first start since Aug. 11 following a groin injury to deliver Chicago its third win in nine games.Gonzo was great, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. I dont know if you could expect much more out of him, coming off the DL and against a lineup like this.Nate Jones retired four straight hitters before David Robertson struck out Upton while working around a hit and a walk in the ninth for his 34th save to complete the seven-hitter.Minor league call up Jason Coats doubled in the fifth and scored on Omar Narvaezs single as the White Sox improved to 6-12 against Detroit and just 14-32 against the AL Central since May 23.Gonzalez retired nine straight until allowing singles to J.D. Martinez and call up Casey McGehee in the seventh. Dan Jennings came in and issued a walk to load the bases. But then Jennings struck out pinch-hitter JaCoby Jones and Nate Jones fanned Maybin to end the threat.J.D. Martinez singled and Erick Aybar walked with one out in the ninth, but Jarrod Saltalamacchia popped out and pinch-hitter Tyler Collins struck out in Detroits 10th shutout of the season.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.Pitching was the story, really, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. Both starting pitchers did a nice job.TRAINERS ROOMTigers: 2B Ian Kinsler (finger) was still having trouble throwing and didnt start. Manager Brad Ausmus said hes likely out until Friday. ... RHP Jordan Zimmermann (neck) was scheduled to start Saturday after being activated off the DL.White Sox: A day after manager Robin Ventura suggested struggling RHP James Shields (5-17, 6.07 ERA) could be shut down because of a bad back, Shields expressed confidence hell start Saturday.THE FUTUREWith 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. But this is where were at and as a result were going to have to make some tough decisions over the coming weeks and months.NEW ADDITIONSWith the Triple-A regular season ending Monday, both teams added players. The Tigers promoted 3B McGehee and OF Steven Moya from Toledo.The White Sox called up OF Coats, INF Leury Garcia and RHP Blake Smith from Charlotte.

Its been a week of love and loss at Whitten Oval but Western Bulldogs midfielder Jack Macrae is confident his AFL side will be ready come Friday night.The Bulldogs travel to Geelong for a crunch clash that will significantly boost or batter their top-four hopes.They are coming off an upset loss to St Kilda, during which Mitch Wallis broke two bones in his leg and Jack Redpath ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).Coach Luke Beveridge was close to tears on Tuesday at a media conference, while many players were crying in the changerooms on Saturday at Etihad Stadium.As traumatic and tough a week its been, it has been a week that just reminds you of how close everyone is and how much we all love each other, Macrae told AAP.It just goes to show the care we have for those two blokes and how big a part of the club they are.It has been a difficult week but were all pretty excited to get out on Friday night, hopefully do them proud and put it behind us.The Bulldogs, who sit seventh on the ladder but could burst back into the top four if they defeat Geelong, have endured a luckless run this season with injuries.Captain Bob Murphy, who was booked in for a season-ending knee reconstructtion after tearing his ACL in round three, has been one of many key players to suffer serious setbacks.ddddddddddddacrae was full of praise for teammates resilience and self-belief this year and he expects more of the same at Simonds Stadium.With every injury and challenge weve faced, every time weve responded, the midfielder said.It just goes to show the character, depth and strength of the list.Hopefully, we can do that again on Friday and for the rest of the year.Obviously, they have a great record there and have been a great team for many years - it would definitely be a great victory.Geelong icons Jimmy Bartel and Corey Enright will celebrate milestones in round 19.Bartel will play his 300th match, while Enright will break the Cats games record when he runs out for the 326th time.Weve got our own.
