The Tigers are sinking quickly and badly.
The losing streak reached a staggering nine games Thursday, as the Chicago White Sox completed a series sweep with an easy 9-0 victory.
White Sox starter Lucas Giolito was dominant, going seven overpowering innings. Giolito struck out 13 Tigers (they struck out 15 times overall), walked one and allowed only three hits.
Giolito overpowered a meager Tigers’ attack that went down in order five times against the talented right-hander.
Chicago scored three runs off Tigers starter Spencer Turnbull in the first inning and never looked back.
