Andy Ibáñez homers, knocks in 3 as Tigers send White Sox to their 100th loss, 9-4

CHICAGO (AP) — Andy Ibáñez homered and had three RBIs as the Detroit Tigers sent the Chicago White Sox to their 100th loss with a 9-4 victory on Sunday.
Andrew Vaughn doubled, homered and had two RBIs for the White Sox (31-100), who need to go 12-19 to avoid tying the 1962 New York Mets, who were 40-120-1, for the modern major league record for most losses in a season. Chicago will fall short of the all-time record held by the Cleveland Spiders, who finished 20-134 in 1899.
In MLB history, only the 1916 Philadelphia A’s, who were 29-100-1, reached 100 losses in fewer games than the White Sox.
Colt Keith had three hits and three RBIs for the Tigers (65-66), who have won four of five.
Chicago has lost 100 or more games six times in franchise history and in consecutive seasons for the first time. They went 61-101 last season under manager Pedro Grifol, who was fired Aug. 8. Chicago is 3-11 under interim manager Grady Sizemore.
The White Sox dropped a club-worst 106 games in 1970. Their worst winning percentage is .325, when they went 49-102-1 in 1932.
Bryan Sammons (1-1) allowed a run and three hits in 4 1/3 innings for Detroit to earn the victory.
Jonathan Cannon (2-8) gave up five runs and eight hits in four innings for the White Sox.
Andrew Benintendi and Vaughn hit back-to-back doubles off opener Beau Brieske to put the White Sox ahead 2-0 in the first.
Detroit’s Kerry Carpenter doubled, reached third on center fielder Dominic Fletcher’s fielding error and scored on Keith’s single to cut the lead to 2-1 in the third. Chicago had four errors.
Vaughn hit his 15th homer, a solo shot, off Sammons in the third to increase Chicago’s lead to 3-1.
Zach McKinstry singled, stole second and scored on Parker Meadows’ triple to make it 3-2 in the fourth.
The Tigers scored three runs in the fifth to take a 5-3 lead. Carpenter, Keith and Jace Jung hit consecutive singles to tie it before pinch hitter Ibáñez grounded into a fielder’s choice and Trey Sweeney singled to bring in the other runs.
Ibáñez hit a two-run homer off Enyel De Los Santos in the seventh and Keith added a two-run double in the eighth.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Tigers: RHP Alex Faedo (right shoulder strain) was reinstated from the paternity list and placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Thursday.
White Sox: CF Luis Robert Jr. and C Korey Lee were out for rest, Sizemore said.
UP NEXT
RHP Ty Madden is expected to make his major league debut for the Tigers in Monday’s series finale against the White Sox and RHP Davis Martin (0-2, 3.22 ERA). Madden is 3-5 with a 6.98 ERA between Double-A Erie and Triple-A Toledo. Detroit will have to make a corresponding move to add Madden to the 40-man roster.
