Our new enemy Will Little was umpiring third base tonight, so we weren’t subject to his floating strike zone, thank god, or tossing a player from the bench because his feelings were a little hurt.
So let’s get to it.
Yasmani Grandal broke the 0-0 tie open in the bottom of the second when he homered off of Spencer Turnbull, making it a 1-0 game. I missed the home run because my husband was futzing with the TV, but Statcast tells me that it had a 108 EV and flew 392 feet. Also, the White Sox very kindly posted a video of it in case other people’s partners were futzing with their TVs:

The Tigers answered back in the top of the third when Robbie Grossman reached on an error by Yoán Moncada.
