Chicago White SoxvsDetroit Tigers
CHW 4/DET 5
Things to say
The Detroit Tigers walked off the Chicago White Sox 5-4 in 10 innings at Comerica Park.
01
opener
Tigers took it 5-4 in extras. Sox had it tied late and just couldn't slam the door. Detroit walked it off in the tenth.
02
key player
Detroit's pen was the story late, kept it a one-run game and gave the heart of the order a chance to win it.
03
hot take
Honestly the White Sox at 39-37 should be putting away a team buried under .500. They left too many runners on.
04
deep cut
Free runner on second in the tenth is made for getaway-day baseball. Detroit cashed it, Chicago didn't.
05
exit
Anyway, extra-inning loss stings. Let's see if the Sox bounce back the next one.
The recap
Tigers took this one in walk-off fashion, edging the White Sox 5-4 in 10 innings at Comerica on a getaway day. Chicago had the better record coming in but couldn't close it out, and Detroit kept clawing back to force free baseball.
Once it got to the tenth, the home crowd smelled it, and the Tigers cashed in the ghost runner to end it right there. Gritty win for a club sitting well under .500, and a tough gut-punch loss for a White Sox team that should've put it away in nine.
