Tigers right-handed starter Anibal Sanchez survived the opening inning at Comerica Park.
Sanchez needed nine pitches to earn a 1-2-3 inning. The highlight: Sanchez struck out White Sox second baseman Yoan Moncada, a left-handed hitter who’s rated the No. 1 prospect in the majors by Baseball America.
White Sox third baseman Yolmer Sanchez popped out to start the inning, and first baseman Jose Abreu grounded out to end the frame.
