Newly-arrived Mike Squires collected three hits, as did Mike Colbern, and the pair combined to drive in all of the White Sox' runs in a 6-3 victory over the Tigers. Squires, called up from Iowa (American Association), hit a double and two singles in four trips, drove in two runs and scored two. Colbern accounted for four RBIs with three singles and a sacrifice fly. [The Sporting News]
