White Sox 4, Tigers 3 (11 innings): A gutty win

The Detroit Tigers are finding all sorts of ways to lose as of late, and they took it up a notch with their eight straight defeat tonight.

With the bases loaded and nobody out in the 11th inning, a 1-2 fastball from Alex Wilson hit Avisail Garcia.

In the stomach.

The White Sox celebration unfolded slowly, as Garcia keeled over while catcher James McCann retrieved the ball and applied a why-not tag. Between the concern over Garcia and the Tigers raising the possibility that he swung at a pitch that hit him, Adam Eaton had to ease through a discussion between McCann and home plate umpire Laz Diaz before touching home plate in a matter-of-fact fashion.
