CHICAGO -- Considering Miguel Cabrera was sitting this one out, the Tigers werent about to turn away any help. Good thing for them, the White Sox were in a generous mood again. Rick Porcello pitched four-hit ball over seven scoreless innings, Jhonny Peralta homered and Detroit took advantage of four errors in a 6-2 victory over Chicago on Tuesday night. "Everybody has problems," Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. "Everybody has injuries, and everybody has issues that theyve got to deal with. Weve really had our share this year." With their MVP and Triple Crown winner Cabrera sidelined by a hip problem, the AL Central leaders again got all the help they needed from Chicago. One night after matching what was a season-high with three errors and giving up five unearned runs in a 7-3 loss to the Tigers, the White Sox managed to outdo themselves. The four errors matched their highest total since a game at Kansas City on April 6, 2011, and gave them 68 in all -- two shy of last years total. They also matched a season high by falling 19 games below .500. "I dont think anyone saw this one coming this year with the way we played last year and we have pretty much the same pieces," Paul Konerko said. "The ball just kept rolling down the hill the wrong way and we have not stopped it." Peralta, meanwhile, delivered an RBI single and scored in a three-run fourth in which the Tigers took advantage of two errors. He also hit a solo drive off Hector Santiago (3-6) in the sixth, and Detroit scored three in the inning to go up 6-0. That was more than enough for Porcello (7-6), who won his third straight start after dropping three in a row. He struck out one and walked three. "I feel real good about the way tonight went, not only for myself, but all around, we played well," Porcello said. Santiago took the loss after four straight no-decisions, allowing six runs over six innings. Only three were earned, but just like Chris Sale the night before, he got no support from his fielders. The error procession started in the first inning when first baseman Adam Dunn appeared to bump Torii Hunter and force him out of the baseline in a rundown. The runner was awarded second base, and manager Robin Ventura got ejected for the first time this season after a heated argument with first base umpire Gary Darling. It only got worse for Chicago in the fourth. Matt Tuiasosopo reached leading off when third baseman Conor Gillaspie booted his grounder. Tuiasosopo scored from third on a single by Peralta after Victor Martinez doubled. There was also a bases-loaded walk to Don Kelly and a sacrifice fly by Hernan Perez in which right fielder Alex Rios throw home got away from catcher Josh Phegley, allowing the runner to advance from first to second. Peralta made it 4-0 with his drive to left with one out in the sixth, and the Tigers added two more in the inning with the White Sox committing another error along the way. That happened when left fielder Dayan Viciedo bobbled the ball several times trying to pick it up after Perez tripled with a man on first, allowing both runners to score. As for Cabrera, he said he didnt go for an MRI and was feeling better on Tuesday -- a day after he walked off the field with a sore left hip flexor. Leyland said his star might return within the next two days against Chicago and that he doesnt expect him to wind up on the disabled list. "I doubt very much hell play (Wednesday)," Leyland said. "I can assure you, hes not going to play both these games the next two days. ... Will he play one? I cant answer that. But if he played (Wednesday) night, he certainly wouldnt play the day game. I dont know if hell player either of the two, to be honest with you." NOTES: Leyland said 2B Omar Infante, on the disabled list with a sprained left ankle, could soon begin a rehab assignment. Assuming no setbacks from Tuesdays workout, Infante would leave for Class-A West Michigan on Wednesday and could rejoin the Tigers this weekend. Leyland also said LHP Darin Downs (tendinitis in his pitching shoulder) is "probably close to going out and pitching. But I cant tell you when." ... White Sox reliever Jesse Crain threw off a mound Tuesday for the first time since he went on the disabled list with a strained right shoulder and could be ready to return as soon as this weekend, pitching coach Don Cooper said. He is tentatively scheduled to throw on the side on Thursday. Cheap Montreal Canadiens Jerseys .

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Houston Astros were bailed out by Mother Nature on Wednesday night in what was supposed to be the third game of a four-game series against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field.After falling behind 5-0 through two innings, a line of strong thunderstorms delayed -- then eventually cancelled -- the game, forcing the clubs to make it up as part of a split doubleheader on Thursday.Well have a long day at the ballpark tomorrow, Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. But given where we were, its obviously a decent enough outcome to start the game over.Minnesota came out flying against Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel on Wednesday. Brian Dozier led off the game with a home run and the Twins tacked on four more in the second inning to grab an early five-run lead.Moments after the top of the third began, the rain started and never let up.

The game will be restarted as though it never happened at 6:10 p.m. CT on Thursday.Theres not much to say. You get off to a good start against a good pitcher and you have your best guy out there and you have to wipe it off the slate like it never happened, Twins manager Paul Molitor said.

We had some optimism it would stop after the delay, but it kept building.The pitching matchup for the first game on Thursday remainss unchanged.dddddddddddd Houston will send right-hander Doug Fister to the mound against Twins rookie Jose Berrios.Fister has been outstanding in two August starts, allowing one earned run while striking out 10 in 12 innings.
