CHICAGO -- "J-Up" and "Miggy" went back-to-back off "Los" as the Detroit Tigers slugged their way past the Chicago White Sox, 6-3, at Guaranteed Rate Field and halted the South Siders' brief three-game winning streak on Saturday.
White Sox left-hander Carlos Rodon, who went by "Los" for Players Weekend, looked human after a stretch of five consecutive quality starts against teams in postseason contention. Rodon, a pitcher with swing-and-miss stuff, did induce seven strikeouts in five frames. But the southpaw allowed seven hard-hit balls -- balls with exit velocity of 95 mph or greater -- including back-to-back homers from Justin Upton and Miguel Cabrera to give the Tigers the lead in the third.
