Top 2nd: Tigers 1, White Sox 0
Justin Upton reached on a throwing error by Chicago shortstop Tim Anderson, and Nick Castellanos followed with a single to right field that put the Tigers in business with runners on the corners. Tyler Collins struck swinging, but the Tigers were able to get on the board when John Hicks hit a soft grounder back to the mound that resulted in a fielder's choice and a 1-0 lead.
With a man on second, Andrew Romine struck out looking to end the frame.
Pelfrey has racked up four strikeouts in the first to innings.
