Suddenly, the floodgates were open. The Tigers kept hitting, scoring three more runs on five more hits for a five-spot in the fifth. They then added insurance runs in the seventh and eighth innings and cruised to a 7-1 victory over the White Sox behind left-hander David Price, who struck out 11 in a complete-game performance.
As good as Price was, the talk in the clubhouse postgame centered on the offense and whether one big homer could really turn things around for everyone.
