Derek Holland's 6 1/3 quality innings and Jose Abreu's two solo homers put the White Sox in control heading into the ninth, but Victor Martinez's first homer of the season and Alex Avila's pinch-hit RBI single off Robertson -- his former college and pro teammate -- evened the score. Detroit headed into extra innings with Wilson, its most effective reliever with 9 2/3 hitless innings this season and 0.00 ERA, on the mound.
Cabrera ended the hitless and scoreless streak with his first homer of the year, a drive to left off a 2-1 cutter.
