DETROIT — Torii Hunter's RBI single in the 12th inning gave the Detroit Tigers a 3-2 victory over the White Sox on Sunday, extending Chicago's losing streak to 10 games.
Miguel Cabrera, who has been dealing with hip and abdominal problems, led off the Detroit 12th with a pinch-hit single. Matt Tuiasosopo ran for him and went to second on a sacrifice bunt by Austin Jackson. Hunter, who also appeared to have the day off before entering late in the game as a replacement, lined a single to left-center off Dylan Axelrod (3-8) to win it.
Bruce Rondon (1-1) pitched two scoreless innings for his first career win. The Tigers have won 12 of 13.

This ancient tree is one of the oldest in Minnesota. The warming climate might kill it.
The Legacy Tree, a northern white cedar, has withstood dozens of windstorms, endured drought, dodged fires and even escaped the lumber mill, which leveled the surrounding forest. It is a bridge to Minnesota's past — but it may not survive Minnesota's future climate.
