Haase pair of 3-run HRs, inside-the-parker, Tigers top WSox

DETROIT (AP) — Eric Haase hit a three-run, inside-the-park homer and later cleared the fence for another three-run drive, leading the Detroit Tigers over the White Sox 11-5 Saturday and snapping Chicago’s five-game winning streak.

The Tigers trailed 2-0 in the fourth inning when Jonathan Schoop and Miguel Cabrera drew walks from Dallas Keuchel (6-3). Haase hit a sinking liner that bounced past diving center fielder Billy Hamilton and rolled to the wall as the runners circled the bases.

”(Hamilton) is an aggressive player and just one of those plays, that ball instead of having a little extra carry, it sunk and got by him,” White Sox manager Tony La Russa said. “That was three runs. It’s a tough break for Dallas. But I don’t fault (Hamilton) at all, what he read and how we tried to make the play.”

Haase’s inside-the-park homer was the first by a Tigers player since JaCoby Jones hit one last Aug. 10 against the White Sox. The six RBIs were a career-high for Haase, who has four multi-homer games this season.

“I don’t think anyone had the inside-the-parker coming into this one,” Detroit manager A.J. Hinch said. “We’ll take it. I’ve said before, when Haase homers once, stick around because he might homer twice. Great day.”

Haase anticipated that Hamilton would make the catch.

“I didn’t exactly get out of the box too quick because I hit it hard and right at him,” he said. “Miggy and Schoop had to wait to see if it got down. But when he dove and it got by him, I knew it was time to turn it on and I was going until (third base coach) Chip (Hale) stopped me.”

Haase’s second homer of the game sailed over the right-field fence in the seventh.

Schoop had a solo homer and two-run single.
