CHICAGO -- Slugger Jose Abreu looks like his old self again, which is good news for the Chicago White Sox, even if its a bit too late.Abreu had three more hits, Avisail Garcia hit a go-ahead single against his former team in a four-run eighth inning and the White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 7-4 on Wednesday.The Tigers wasted a chance to move into a tie with Baltimore for the second wild card.

The first baseman has hit .342 since the All-Streak break, 65 points better than in the first half.(The coaches) have worked with me on the right approach and corrected some things in my offense that I hadnt been doing before, Abreu said through an interpreter. You work hard and make adjustments, and the results, you can find them at the end of the day.Abreu led off the eighth with a single for his third hit and scored on Justin Morneaus double against Shane Greene (3-4). After Todd Frazier grounded out, Garcia singled to right-center. Tyler Saladino and Adam Eaton added RBI singles, and Chicago took two out of three in the series to move to 67-72.Hes swinging (the bat) good, said manager Robin Ventura of Abreu. You can tell.
