Oakland went ahead on Mark Canha's groundout four batters late.Jose Berrios (8-5) allowed three runs and six hits in five innings with two strikeouts and three walks to lose his second straight start and third consecutive decision.TIGERS 11, WHITE SOX 5CHICAGO (AP) — Niko Goodrum hit a two-run homer during Detroit's five-run sixth inning, and Matthew Boyd matched a career high with 13 strikeouts.The Tigers won just the second time in their past 13 games.

Giles was pitching for the third straight game, the first time he's done that this year. Giles missed 10 games last month because of a sore elbow.Michael Chavis hit a three-run homer and Rafael Devers added a solo shot as the Red Sox extended their streak of games with at least one home run to eight. Boston won its sixth straight on July 4. Brandon Workman (8-1) pitched the final two innings for the win despite giving up the tying run in the eighth.Danny Jansen homered twice for the Blue Jays, the first multihomer game of his career, and Freddy Galvis added a two-run shot.
