Tigers Win at Chicago, 7-5
The 7-5 Detroit win over Chicago was due in large part to Chris Wheatley. The Tigers first baseman slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. The win puts Detroit at 56-96.

Wheatley contributed a big hit, a 3-run home run, for Detroit in the top of the fifth. With his team trailing 2-1, Wheatley took a fastball from Ryohei Uda and stroked the home run to left. His 22nd home run of the season allowed the Tigers to leap in front, 4-2.

In comments to the Detroit Today, Wheatley admitted he's been told to improve his work habits. "But," he said, "I know when to take it to another gear."
