The White Sox benefited from a weak defensive performance by Detroit, but the Tigers broke through with a big seventh inning to win on Tuesday night.
Lucas Giolito’s previous start did not go well, as he was shelled against the Red Sox in a lopsided loss. He was seeking to put that game in the rearview mirror, but this game did not start out on a positive note. Giolito missed his target with a fastball on the inner half, and Miguel Cabrera launched a long home run (445 feet) in the top of the first.
