The White Sox might have rallied in the ninth, but it was too little too late thanks to poor pitching and terrible plate appearances.
Miguel Vargas started the game with a stand-up double. Alas, in a tale as old as time, he was stranded even after stealing third. After review, Kerry Carpenter put the Tigers on the board early with a one-out solo home run. The run was first ruled a foul, but it just got inside the foul pole, reversing the ruling on the field. Riley Greene followed with a single. After putting Jonathan Cannon to work, Spencer Torkelson drew a walk, prompting Ethan Katz to make an early mound visit to calm the young pitcher.
