Xander Bogaerts’ RBI infield single in the bottom of the eighth inning Sunday was enough for the winning run as the San Diego Padres snapped a four-game losing streak with a 4-3 decision over the visiting Chicago White Sox.

Ramon Laureano started the winning rally by coaxing a leadoff walk from Tyler Davis (0-1). Bryan Hudson relieved Davis and fanned Miguel Andujar as Laureano stole second. Jackson Merrill’s infield hit moved Laureano to third.

Merrill swiped second while Hudson whiffed Manny Machado. Bogaerts’ check-swing on a 2-2 fastball produced a soft bouncer that third baseman Colson Montgomery gloved but couldn’t make a throw as Laureano scored.

Jason Adam (1-0) pitched a scoreless eighth and Mason Miller mowed Chicago down in the ninth for his 11th save in as many chances. The result snapped the White Sox’s five-game winning streak.

Chicago tied the game at 3 in the seventh when pinch hitter Derek Hill clouted an 0-2 fastball from Adrian Morejon 409 feet over the center field wall with Chase Meidroth aboard after a single.

Hill’s tying homer no-decisioned both starters after five-inning outings. Chicago’s Anthony Kay permitted seven hits and three runs (two earned) with a walk and five strikeouts. San Diego right-hander Griffin Canning, making his first start of the year, allowed only three hits and a run while walking three and fanning seven.

Drew Romo gave the White Sox a 1-0 edge in the top of the third, lining a homer into the right field seats that traveled an estimated 363 feet. It was his third homer of the year.

The Padres took their first lead of the series with three runs in the fourth. Andujar drilled a leadoff homer to left-center, his second of the year, and Machado followed one out later with his fifth homer that traveled an estimated 397 feet to left-center.

Bogaerts and Ty France followed up with singles, then moved up 90 feet on Nick Castellanos’ groundout. Freddy Fermin drew a walk and Romo was charged with a passed ball on ball four, enabling Bogaerts to score.

Spencer Torkelson smacked a two-run homer, Kevin McGonigle supplied a pair of run-scoring hits and the host Detroit Tigers downed the Texas Rangers, 7-1, on Sunday in the rubber game of a three-game series.

Matt Vierling had a two-run double and Hao-Yu Lee added an RBI single. Tyler Holton was used as an opener and pitched two-thirds of an inning.

Brenan Hanifee got the next five outs and winning pitcher Brant Hurter (4-0) tossed 3 1/3 scoreless frames, allowing two hits. Ricky Vanasco gave up one run in 1 1/3 innings. Kyle Finnegan and Burch Smith each added an inning of scoreless relief.

Rangers starter Jack Leiter (1-3) struck out 10, tying his career high, in 6 2/3 innings. He was charged with five runs and five hits with one walk.

Leiter struck out six of the first eight batters he faced. He didn’t allow a baserunner until the fifth, when Riley Greene drew a leadoff walk on four pitches. Leiter got ahead 0-2 in the count to Torkelson, then hung a slider that Torkelson crushed to left-center for his sixth homer of the season.

Detroit extended its lead to 3-0 in the sixth. Jake Rogers led off with a sinking liner to center. Evan Carter tried to make a diving catch and the ball bounced past him, allowing Rogers to go all the way to third for a triple. McGonigle then lined a single to right to knock him in.

The Rangers broke through in the seventh. Ezequiel Duran had a one-out double to left and Josh Smith walked. A wild pitch moved up both runners and Duran scored on Kyle Higashioka’s groundout. Vanasco struck out Brandon Nimmo to keep the score at 3-1.

Detroit made it 7-1 in the bottom of the seventh. Kerry Carpenter had a one-out single, advanced on a groundout and scored on Lee’s single. Tyler Alexander replaced Leiter and gave up a single to Rogers and another to McGonigle, scoring Lee. Rogers and McGonigle scored on Vierling’s double.
