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.


Late Innings


In contrast with earlier struggles at bat for both sides during mid-game playtime; it was during these late stages where things took another turn altogether: The seventh inning saw Chicago narrow down deficits further still when Eloy Jiménez hit an RBI single off Will Vest bringing them within striking distance once more!


Then came what would prove decisive - eighth-inning heroics led primarily by Andrew Benintendi whose two-run homer gave visitors enough momentum needed ultimately secure victory despite valiant efforts made defensively throughout remainder match-up itself!
