Tigers starter Anibal Sanchez got through six innings, thanks to a little defense. With one out, Justin Morneau singled for the White Sox, but was erased on a 6-4-3 inning-ending double play off the bat of Todd Frazier. The third time through the order, which has been an issue for Sanchez of late, is going rather smoothly. The Tigers lead 6-1 going to the bottom of the sixth.
