What happened: Matt Vierling delivered a walk-off hit to give the Detroit Tigers a 4-1 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. The result moved Detroit's lead in the series to 3-1.

Why it matters: The win extends a strong stretch for a Tigers club that entered the day at 32-44, pushing its winning streak forward and building a cushion in the series. For the White Sox, who came in at 39-36, it is a second straight loss as their recent edge over Detroit slips away.

By the numbers: Detroit has now taken back-to-back meetings with Chicago after dropping three straight to the White Sox in late May. The Tigers entered Sunday 32-44 on the season; the White Sox sat at 39-36. Detroit walked off the previous meeting territory with another tight, low-scoring finish, holding Chicago to a single run.

What to watch: Detroit will look to close out the series, while Chicago aims to halt its skid and avoid surrendering the set.
