Stanley connected off White Sox starter Gary Peters, driving a high fly ball several rows into the upper deck in left field. It was the third homer for the Tigers center fielder.
Joe Sparma (7-8) pitched seven innings of a combined shutout with John Hiller, who earned his second save.
The White Sox doubled the Tigers' three-hit output but couldn't plate a run. In fact, the Tigers didn't get a hit after the third inning in taking two of three from first-place Chicago and moving back to within 5.5 games of the Pale Hose.
But Detroit (39-34) remains in third place as the Boston Red Sox also won on Sunday.
It was a tough loss for Peters, who gave up just the one run on three hits and two walks in seven innings of work.
