The Chicago White Sox took care of business this afternoon, comfortably defeating the Detroit Tigers by a final score of 11-5. While the 2022 season has been a case study in humility and letting go of foregone conclusions, today’s game mercifully shook out exactly how the South Siders might have expected. After all, it should be relatively easy for the talent-heavy White Sox to dispose of a 91-loss team — and today, it was.
But today’s game against the Tigers wasn’t the only game on Chicago’s radar. This recap is the tale of two games: The White Sox versus the Tigers and the first-place Cleveland Guardians versus the Minnesota Twins.
