After nights like this, it is important to remember how long the season is. The White Sox (12-10) squandered many opportunities during the 5-2 loss to the Tigers (8-16). As a result, the White Sox saw their four-game winning streak come to a close.
The Starters
Lucas Giolito got off to a rough start, surrendering Miguel Cabrera’s 489th career home run in the first inning. It was smooth sailing for Giolito most of the way after that mistake, but the Tigers got to him in the seventh. As usual, Giolito did very well with his changeup, and he used it on three consecutive pitches to escape a sixth-inning jam.
