Detroit — The Tigers needed something positive, anything, and pitcher Drew VerHagen provided it.
The right-hander pitched five impressive innings in Tuesday’s nightcap of a day-night doubleheader, leading the Tigers to a much-needed 10-6 victory over the Chicago White Sox.
The Tigers had to wait a while to secure the victory. The game was delayed 61 minutes with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning because of heavy rain showers.
Chicago won the opening game Tuesday, 5-3, extending the Tigers' recent misery — and there has been a lot of it.
