Chicago White SoxvsDetroit Tigers
CHW 4/DET 3
Things to say
The Chicago White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 4-3 on the road at Comerica Park.
01
opener
White Sox took it 4-3 in Detroit. Tight one all the way, came down to the last few innings. Chicago's pen just didn't blink.
02
key player
The Sox bullpen was the story. Whoever they ran out there in the late innings had electric stuff, WHIP looked microscopic. Shut the heart of the order right down.
03
hot take
Tigers manager went to the pen too early, plain and simple. Your starter's cruising in a one-run game, you let him breathe.
04
deep cut
Detroit's 60-63 now and it's these getaway-day one-run losses that pile up. They've been leaving guys on base all month.
05
exit
Anyway, White Sox are rolling at 64-58. Curious if they can keep it going next series.
The recap
The White Sox went into Comerica and scratched out a 4-3 win, the kind of tight one-run game that comes down to the last at-bat. Detroit hung around all afternoon, but Chicago's bullpen slammed the door when it mattered and the heart of the order did just enough to push across the run that stuck.
The Tigers left too many chances on the table and it cost them. Getaway day on the road, and the Sox steal it.
