Detroit (July 7) - Deron Johnson drove an opposite field home run to right field in the 12th inning, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Tigers, 3-2, Monday night at Tiger Stadium.
Leading off the 12th, the 36-year-old DH connected off Bob Reynolds as the Tigers fell to 14-29 at home and 31-49 overall. They have lost seven of eight.
The Tigers tied the game 2-2 in the eighth inning and put runners on base in the ninth, 10th, 11th and 12th but couldn't score again. They had 14 hits.
Bill Melton slugged a two-run homer in the sixth to put Chicago ahead, 2-1.
Tom Veryzer had four hits for the Tigers.
The Major Said: "It's not like we didn't have any chances. You should get a lot more runs than two when you have 14 hits. It's not like (the players) are not trying, but the results just aren't there.
