JaCoby Jones hit an inside-the-park home run in the seventh inning and the host Detroit Tigers breezed to their fourth victory in a row, 5-1 over the Chicago White Sox on Monday night.

Niko Goodrum homered and had four hits for the Tigers, who handed Chicago its fifth loss in six games. Detroit is 9-5 overall and 4-0 since returning from a four-day layoff created by a postponed series with St. Louis, which had a coronavirus outbreak.

"Everyone's getting better, at least on one thing each day," Goodrum said. "I used those four days to just reflect on what I was doing well and what I can improve on."

Detroit first baseman C.J. Cron exited because of a left knee injury in the fourth inning. White Sox slugger Jose Abreu came out limping after grounding out in the eighth.

Seattle 10, Texas 2: Kyle Seager hit a sixth-inning grand slam, Kyle Lewis added a three-run homer and the Mariners beat the host Rangers.
