After salvaging one of three games in a “must” series vs. Minnesota, the White Sox welcome the “other” disappointing AL Central team, the Detroit Tigers.
By virtue of dropping two of three vs. Minny, the White Sox have fallen to 39-41, 5 1⁄2 games behind the Twins. This is exactly where they were a week ago, and at some point, as we’re essentially midseason, Chicago cannot just keep punting days off of the schedule. For those interested in that sweet sweet second-place money, however, Cleveland has hit a slump and now sits just one game ahead of the White Sox.
