CHICAGO — Rookie Beau Brieske took a no-hitter into the sixth inning Thursday night. Javier Báez, in his first game back in the city of Chicago since the Cubs traded him last year, homered off right-hander Dylan Cease and the Tigers held on to beat the White Sox 2-1 and extended their winning streak to five games.
A double by Luis Robert off closer Gregory Soto in the ninth cut the lead but Soto struck out Jose Abreu and got out of the inning for his 17th save.
It was the first time the Tigers beat Cease. He was 10-0 with a 1.91 ERA in his previous 11 starts against them.
