Tigers' Early Roar Silenced by White Sox's Late Surge at Comerica Park
The Detroit Tigers faced off against the Chicago White Sox in a tightly contested game at Comerica Park. The Tigers, with a record of 82-62, were unable to maintain their early lead and fell to the White Sox, who improved their record to 55-89. The final score was 6-4 in favor of the South Siders.
First Inning
The game began with a promising start for the Tigers as they quickly took control. Scoring three runs on just one hit, they capitalized on an error by the White Sox defense. Spencer Torkelson played a crucial role in this inning, showcasing his ability to get on base and apply pressure on the opposition.
Middle Innings
As the game progressed into the middle innings, both teams struggled offensively. The Tigers managed only one additional run in the fourth inning thanks to Kerry Carpenter's double that brought home Riley Greene from second base. However, their bats went silent afterward as they failed to register any hits or runs from innings five through nine.
On defense, Detroit's pitching staff worked hard but faced challenges containing Chicago's hitters. Starting pitcher Charlie Morton allowed three earned runs over his three innings pitched before handing over duties to Tommy Kahnle and Tyler Holton from their bullpen.
