Tigers sweep Sox; tied with O's for 2nd WC

Jones, who went 2-for-4 in his Major League debut Tuesday night, put Detroit on the scoreboard when Andrew Romine singled him home in the fifth inning. That was the Tigers' lone run off Chris Sale until J.D. Martinez's two-out RBI single in the eighth tied it.

Jones greeted White Sox closer David Robertson in the ninth with a drive off the wall in right-center field. Jarrod Saltalamacchia's fly ball to the warning track in right moved Jones to third with one out. Collins, pinch-hitting for Romine, lofted a fly ball into shallow left-center, deep enough for the speedy Jones to take off for home.
