CHICAGO -- Getting cheered in Chicago after hitting a home run felt just a little odd for Justin Morneau. He wouldnt mind making it the norm, and the same goes for the White Sox.Morneau hit his first home run in more than 14 months to give struggling Chicago a short-lived lead in a 7-5 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Friday night.Yeah, it wouldve been nice if it wouldve held up, the four-time All-Star and former AL MVP said. Nice to get that out of the way, but its tough when were going through a stretch like this, where were coming back against a guy whos having a great year. But hopefully thats the start of good things offensively.

Francisco Rodriguez worked the ninth for his 27th save in 29 chances as Detroit won its second in a row.Chicagos Jose Abreu had three hits and drove in two runs. But Jacob Turner got knocked out in the fourth inning, Carson Fulmer (0-1) struggled in relief and the White Sox fell to 23-40 since a 23-10 start.Carson Fulmer came on with a 5-4 lead in the seventh and quickly ran into trouble.The Tigers loaded the bases with none out before Jose Iglesias drove in Justin Upton with a fielders choice grounder. After Cameron Maybin walked with one out to load the bases again, Cabrera greeted Jones with a two-run single up the middle.That gave the slugger 1,501 RBI and put Detroit back on top. It also gave him 43 four-hit games, tied for 32nd all-time with Willie Davis.Carson Fulmer threw 30 pitches -- 12 for strikes -- in his third major league appearance. It was also the first pressure situation for the promising rookie.Quick memory and throw it over your shoulder and prepare for tomorrow, he said. I cant ever use the excuse of it being my first big-time experience and especially for me being put in that situation. Hopefully I get the opportunity to do it again.ON THE MOUNDMichael Fulmer gave up five runs -- four earned -- and six hits in five innings after posting a 0.83 ERA in his previous 10 starts.Turner threw 101 pitches in 3 1/3 innings, allowing four runs and five hits.

He had returned to practice on a limited basis Aug. 24, and has been limited since. On Tuesday, he said he was feeling decent before adding, Obviously you just dont wake up and youre 100 percent, but Im satisfied with the improvements.He noted that his game status would be a coachs decision, a trainers decision and that well all come together.Gronkowski has roster bonuses in his contract that earn him $31,250 per game that he is active. In his absence the first two games, Martellus Bennett played 149 of a possible 151 offensive snaps. The Patriots have planned to pair Gronkowski and Bennett as a one-two combo that they hope creates matchup issues for opponents.Meanwhile, at quarterback, the Patriots dont have Garoppolo?in uniform Thursday.Garoppolo, who sprained the AC joint in his right throwing shoulder on Sunday, was officiaally listed as inactive for the game.ddddddddddddhat leaves the club with just Brissett at quarterback on its roster. The third-round draft pick from NC State replaced Garoppolo in Sundays win over the Miami Dolphins and has worked as the starter in the days leading up to Thursdays game.When Bledsoe started in 1993, he was the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, the Patriots head coach was Bill Parcells, James Orthwein was the teams owner, and the team played its games at the old Foxboro Stadium. As it turns out, Brissett counts Parcells as one of his mentors as he grew up nearby his residence in Florida.Julian Edelman, who played quarterback at Kent State before the Patriots switched him to receiver in 2009 after drafting him in the seventh round, would likely be the teams top emergency option. Texans coach Bill OBrien said earlier this week that he remembers Edelman working at quarterback at times in practice during OBriens tenure as a Patriots assistant.Patriots linebacker and defensive signal caller?Donta Hightower?was also inactive for the second straight game. Hightower hurt his knee in the teams season opener. ' ' '
