CHICAGO — The Detroit Tigers wouldn't stop hitting.

As right-hander Reese Olson tossed seven scoreless innings, the Tigers' offense tallied a season-high 18 hits (plus three walks) in Saturday's 10-0 win over the Chicago White Sox in the second of three games in the series at Guaranteed Rate Field.

The Tigers (62-74) won their third game in a row, clinched the weekend series and locked in a winning record against the AL Central (at 27-15) for the first time since 2016.

In the first two innings, the Tigers scored six runs on eight hits. All eight hits occurred with two outs: Spencer Torkelson, Miguel Cabrera, Kerry Carpenter, Andre Lipcius and Parker Meadows in the first inning; Akil Baddoo, Zach McKinstry and Torkelson in the second inning.

Cabrera put the Tigers ahead, 1-0, with an RBI double off White Sox right-hander Mike Clevinger's first-pitch fastball. A two-run home run from Lipcius — in the first start and second game of his MLB career — extended the lead to 4-0.

Lipcius hit a two-strike slider from Clevinger for a 399-foot homer to left-center field.

The Tigers then received two-out, run-scoring hits from Torkelson (double) and Cabrera (single) to take an 8-0 advantage.

Cabrera drove in the Tigers' ninth run, for a 9-0 lead, off right-handed reliever Luis Patiño with two outs in the sixth inning. He also reached on an infield single in the eighth inning before being pulled off the field, replaced by pinch-runner Carson Kelly, because of the lopsided scoreboard.

Kelly came around to score for a 10-0 advantage.

Cabrera finished 4-for-5 with three RBIs in Saturday's game, putting him at 3,158 hits in his 21-year MLB career. It marked his first four-hit game since Sept. 8, 2021, against the Pirates in Pittsburgh. The 40-year-old, batting .257 in 81 games this season, passed George Brett with his first-inning double and is eight hits away from tying Adrián Beltré for 17th on MLB's all-time list.

Torkelson, the 2020 No. 1 overall pick, finished 3-for-4 with two RBIs.

Clevinger, who entered Saturday with a 3.32 ERA in 18 starts, surrendered eight runs on 12 hits — without issuing a walk — in four innings, throwing 52 of 71 pitches for strikes. He had seven whiffs and 11 called strikes.

The Tigers have a 31-10 record when getting at least 10 hits in a single game this season. In Saturday's win, Detroit racked up 10 hits for the 41st time and 15 hits for the fifth time.

Reese's peace

Catcher Jake Rogers was the only member of the Tigers' starting lineup who failed to reach base safely, but he was phenomenal behind the plate while calling Olson's seven-inning gem.

Generally, Olson relies on strikeouts for his outs.

This time, the 24-year-old generated one strikeout and seven whiffs.

The White Sox didn't get a hit off Olson until Oscar Colás ripped a first-pitch fastball for a leadoff single in the third inning. The inning ended two batters later, when Tim Anderson grounded into a double play on Olson's down-and-away changeup.

Andrew Benintendi's leadoff single in the fourth was erased when Andrew Vaughn grounded into a double play, and Yoan Moncada's leadoff single in the fifth was erased when Gavin Sheets grounded into a double play.

In the seventh, Trayce Thompson's leadoff single was eliminated when Eloy Jimenez grounded to Lipcius at third to start a fourth double play.

Olson faced 22 batters — one shy of the minimum — through seven innings, thanks to the defensive gems. Vaughn reached safely on Lipcius' fielding error in the first inning, in which the White Sox sent four batters to the plate.

He threw 48 of 79 pitches for strikes.

Faedo featured

Right-handed reliever Miguel Diaz, making his season debut, fired a scoreless eighth inning with two strikeouts. He was followed by right-hander Alex Faedo, whom the Tigers recently moved to the bullpen.

It was Faedo's first relief appearance in his MLB career.

The 27-year-old, who had a 4.98 ERA in 11 starts, retired all three batters in the bottom of the ninth inning, throwing nine of 13 pitches for strikes. His seven four-seam fastballs averaged 93.9 mph out of the bullpen, up from his 92.8 mph average as a starter this season.
