DETROIT -- Jose Abreus home run drought had lasted over a month, and the Chicago slugger was well aware.It was a tough time for me, because Ive never experienced something like that in my career, Abreu said through a translator. Bad stretches when I couldnt hit homers, but not a long bad stretch like this.Abreu can stop worrying about it now. He and Avisail Garcia both went deep in a five-run second inning, and the White Sox chased Jordan Zimmermann early in his return from the disabled list, snapping Detroits eight-game winning streak with a 6-3 victory over the Tigers on Thursday.Abreus two-run shot was his first homer since June 23.Its been a long time, and I think somewhere in there, its been dragging on him, White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. I think his swings today were great, and he hit a lot of balls right on the nose, which is a good sign for him.Zimmermann (9-5) had been out since June 30 because of a right neck strain, and now a lat issue has come up. The right-hander was to have an MRI, and the Tigers were taking a wait-and-see approach on his next start.His lat was a little bit tight, not really related to what the issue was when he was on the DL, Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said. He just couldnt seem to get loose. There was no pain, he was just having trouble getting extended and locating the ball.Zimmermann allowed six runs and six hits in 1 2/3 innings, failing to strike out a batter. Jose Quintana (9-8) allowed three runs and eight hits in 7 1/3 innings.David Robertson pitched the ninth for his 26th save in 30 chances, and Chicago won for only the second time in eight games.Miguel Cabrera and Ian Kinsler homered for Detroit, but the Tigers fell to three games behind AL Central-leading Cleveland.Zimmermann labored through the first, allowing a run on Justin Morneaus sacrifice fly, but it was the second inning that was his undoing. Garcia homered into the second level of bushes beyond the wall in center field to give Chicago a 2-1 lead. Not long after that, trainer Kevin Rand went to the mound to check on Zimmermann, but the right-hander remained in the game.Melky Cabrera added an RBI single, and Adam Eaton hit a sacrifice fly. Abreu then made it 6-1 with a drive to left.It was Zimmermanns shortest outing since he also went 1 2/3 innings for Washington against Miami on April 9, 2014.MORE SUPPORTQuintana had received one run or fewer of support in nine of his previous 14 starts. He protected the big lead without much drama Thursday after a shaky first inning.POWERKinslers homer was his 21st of the season and Miguel Cabreras was his 25th.Kinslers leadoff homer tied the game at 1, and the Tigers nearly scored again in the first on J.D. Martinezs double, but the relay home was in time to retire Nick Castellanos for the third out.In the seventh, the Tigers scored on an RBI single by Tyler Collins, and Miguel Cabrera hit his solo shot an inning later.TRAINERS ROOMWhite Sox: Rookie SS Tim Anderson left in the first inning with a bruised left hand after being hit by a pitch. X-rays were negative.Tigers: OF Cameron Maybin sat out with a sprained left thumb.UP NEXTWhite Sox: Chicago hosts Baltimore for three games. Miguel Gonzalez (2-5) of the White Sox faces Yovani Gallardo (3-3) of the Orioles on Friday night.Tigers: Justin Verlander (11-6) takes the mound against Noah Syndergaard (9-5) in the opener of a three-game series against the New York Mets.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Cheap Air Max 2019 China .

They then followed it up by beating Norwich on Tuesday night.However, the record is actually held by Leeds United who had to wait until their 31st and 32nd games of the inaugural Premier League season in 1992/93 to register consecutive victories over Ipswich Town and Manchester City.In fact, Howard Wilkinsons side finished 17th that campaign, just two points from safety, in what was a disastrous title defence by Leeds.The current title holders are second on this list, with Blackburn Rovers third after taking until games 20 and 21 before managing two league victories in a row, a year after winning the Premier League for the first time in 1995.Elsewhere, Arsenal had to wait until the 10th and 11th fixtures of the 1998/99 season to win back-to-back Premier League encounters, although Arsene Wengers side ended up just a point behind eventual champions Manchester United come the end of that campaign.Completing this top five are United, who did not register two straight Premier League wins until matches nine and 10 of the 2013/14 season, David Moyes debut campaign at Old Trafford.Rashford at the doubleIs Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford the youngest-ever player to score two goals on his Premier League debut?

Craig Spurs head into Saturday lunchtimes north London derby with Arsenal at White Hart Lane ahead of their city rivals in the Premier League MARTIN SAYS: Spurs head into Saturdays home game with Arsenal ahead of their city rivals, a scenario which has happened on five previous occasions in the Premier League.ddddddddddddThe first time it occurred, in the 1994/95 season, it actually happened twice in the second half of that campaign. On the first occasion in January 1995, Gerry Francis team went into the north London derby five points clear of the Gunners and they had extended that lead to 10 points by the time the two rivals met again at Highbury on April 29. Spurs finished in seventh - five places above Arsenal.In April 2006, Martin Jols side occupied the fourth and final Champions League berth prior to a trip to fifth-placed Arsenal, who at the time were four points adrift of Spurs.The match ended in a 1-1 draw, but Wengers men went on to pip Tottenham to the final place in Europes premier club competition by just two points come May.Harry Redknapps Tottenham, third at the time, enjoyed a healthy 10-point cushion over fifth-placed Arsenal going into the north London derby in February 2012.However, a comprehensive 5-2 defeat at the Emirates helped provide the momentum for Arsenal to end that campaign in third position.Spurs did manage to finish fourth in the table, although they missed out on a place in the Champions League after Chelsea won the trophy against Bayern Munich (and I well remember commentating on that day).Finally, the following season Andre Villas-Boas team were four points clear of the Gunners heading into Marchs derby at White Hart Lane, with the hosts claiming a memorable 2-1 victory to further extend their lead.However, despite that seven-point advantage, Arsenal again managed to overtake Tottenham in the closing stages of the season to claim fourth position by a single point, and with it a place in the Champions League.
