James Shields hits the wall in the fifth after Charlie Tilson falls injured just short of one
Now that the White Sox are shifting into post-deadline mode, there are some games that just aren’t worthy of a full recap. This one's a good example, as the Sox tied their low-water mark at four games under .500 while looking outclassed in Detroit. You can boil this game down to a handful of takeaways.
Tilson, making his MLB debut with the team he grew up rooting for, singled in his first at-bat. The good vibes lasted less than an hour, because he left the game with a leg injury chasing down Miguel Cabrera’s line drive to the gap.
