DETROIT -- Doug Fister and the Detroit Tigers arent giving an inch in the AL Central. Fister pitched eight impressive innings, Austin Jackson homered and Jose Iglesias drove in a run in his Detroit debut to lead the Tigers to a 2-1 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night. Detroit has won 10 of 11 -- a run thats enabled the Tigers to stay atop the division despite a similar surge by second-place Cleveland. "We cant control anything that other teams do, obviously," Fister said. "But were coming in, playing hard and working together, and I think thats whats going to carry us anywhere we go this year." The White Sox lost their eighth straight game. Fister (10-5) allowed a run and seven hits, striking out two. Joaquin Benoit pitched a hitless ninth for his 11th save in 11 chances. Iglesias, acquired from Boston this week in a three-team deal, started at third base in place of Miguel Cabrera, who experienced soreness after running and was scratched pregame. Iglesias contributed right away with his new team. "Baseball is the same," he said. "Great group -- and fun to win today." Hector Santiago (3-7) allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings. He struck out seven and walked one. "That was one of Hectors best games all year," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "He usually has an inning or two in the middle where he gets out of synch, walks a few guys and gives up some runs. That didnt happen today, and thats an important step forward for him." Fister threw 88 pitches before being replaced by Benoit for the ninth. He won his fourth straight start -- and hes allowed four earned runs in 28 innings over that span. Fister didnt strike out many batters, instead retiring them on groundball after groundball. That was one factor in keeping his pitch count so low. "Things were feeling pretty good tonight," Fister said. "Im trying to be as consistent as possible from Day One, and things are falling our way right now." The Indians lost Friday after eight straight wins, so Detroit now leads the division by three games. The 23-year-old Iglesias was initially going to play second base Friday, but when Cabrera was pulled before the game, he moved over to third. Iglesias could soon take over at shortstop for Jhonny Peralta, who faces a possible suspension amid the fallout from baseballs investigation into the Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic. Peralta was in the lineup at shortstop Friday. Prince Fielder led off the Detroit fourth with a double, and he went tumbling into third while advancing on Victor Martinezs flyout. One out later, Iglesias dropped a flare into shallow right field for a single to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead. "I was just thinking -- put the ball in play," Iglesias said. "Thats my goal -- see a lot of pitches, put a good swing and get a good pitch to hit." Jackson hit his seventh homer of the year in the fifth, a high drive that carried over the fence in left-centre field. Chicago ended Fisters shutout bid in the sixth with an RBI single by Alex Rios, but Fielder cut off Jacksons throw from centre and ran Rios down between first and second for the third out. The White Sox (40-67) are at least 27 games under .500 for the first time since finishing the 1976 season 64-97. Chicago put the tying run on first to lead off the seventh and eighth innings, but each time, Fister was able to induce a double play grounder. In the ninth, Rios drew a two-out walk and stole second, but Adam Dunn grounded out to end it. NOTES: The time of the game was 2 hours, 7 minutes. ...

Newman, who still keeps a home in the Dallas area, played for the Cowboys for nine seasons through 2011.We shed a lot of blood, sweat and tears together, said Newman, who was drafted in the first round out of Kansas State in 2003. I love those guys.Barry Church, Sean Lee and Orlando Scandrick are still around on the defense from Newmans last team with Dallas.Dan Bailey, Dez Bryant, Doug Free, Tony Romo, Tyron Smith and Jason Witten are familiar faces to him on the other side of the ball, with the same unfulfilled goal.I dont play for money. I want a Super Bowl, Newman said. For me, thats kind of the hot girl that you see, you try to talk to, and she just doesnt really respond and she doesnt really want to have anything to do with you at this point. Im still chasing her.The oldest cornerback in the NFL by almost two years , Newman has been a stalwart in the secondary for coach Mike Zimmer, his defensive coordinator with Cincinnati in 2012-13 and with Dallas from 2003-06.Newmans savviness on the field, understanding of Zimmers scheme and well-honed technique have been more than enough to make up for any lost agility and speed needed to cover wide receivers 15 years younger than him.I call him old man to his face, but I call him kid to everyone else, Zimmer said.With Newman on one side, standout Xavier Rhodes on the other and veteran Captain Munnerlyn playing the slot in the nickel package, the Vikings have been able to bring 2015 first-round draft pick Trae Wayness along slowly and limited the exposure of 2016 second-round draft pick Mackensie Alexander.ddddddddddddWaynes has taken more and more of Newmans playing time as hes improved, but in the 16-13 loss to the Lions last week the leader of the group, Newman, was missed.Munnerlyn described him as an extra coach on the field . Asked what age hed think his teammate was without knowing while simply watching him play, Munnerlyn estimated mid-20s. An exaggeration, sure, but the Vikings wouldnt have re-signed him if he were a liability.He still can run, man, and hes a very smart football player, Munnerlyn said. But by him being so smart, I know hes old. Hes seen a lot of football.Newman, whos second among active players with 41 interceptions behind DeAngelo Hall, has often cited red wine as his key to longevity. Good genes have helped with durability, of course, as has a diligent approach to fitness, training and recovery.Theres days I feel like a kid, and theres days I feel like Zim. It comes and goes, but most of the time I do feel pretty good walking in here and going to practice. I love going to meetings and looking and film and listening to him talk, listening to our coaches talk, Newman said, adding:Being older, I get to sit in a room with a bunch of young guys and get what music is hip these days and the hot spots and listen to some of their stories. Its still fun for me, very much so.As long as theres still some tread on those tires, Newman said this week, hell keep trying to play.Im not as quick as I used to be, but where I lack in just pure speed and quickness I kind of try and make up for the mental part of it, Newman said, adding:There comes a point in everybodys career where youre not going to have what you had when you came in, and the only way to pick up slack is to really become a student of the game.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Dave Campbell on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/DaveCampbellAP---AP Sports Writer Schuyler Dixon in Frisco, Texas, contributed to this report.
