Overall, it wasn’t a very fun afternoon of baseball for the Chicago White Sox.
The 7-3 loss to the Detroit Tigers was unmistakably marked by a usual suspect, James Shields.
Shields employed his usual arsenal of grunts and glares to muscle through three low-hit, scoreless innings before two singles, a HBP, a ground-rule double and a sac fly scored two. If not for Shields orchestrating a clever pick-off of Nicholas Castellanos at third base with runners on second and third with no outs, the roof might have fallen in sooner.
