In the bottom of the first inning, the White Sox, like the Tigers half an inning earlier, left runners on the corners.
Matt Boyd walked Tyler Saladino on the eighth pitch of the at-bat, before striking out Tim Anderson swinging on a 1-2 pitch. Melky Cabrera then flew out to left field for the second out. Jose Abreu singled on the hit-and-run, sending Saladino to third. Todd Frazer lined out to a sliding Justin Upton in left field, saving a run and ending the inning.
After one, the game remains scoreless.
