Chicago — The blossoming of Casey Mize continues. Though on a warm Thursday night at Guaranteed Rate Field, it was in a losing effort.
The Central Division-leading White Sox beat the Tigers 3-1 Thursday, their 12th win in the last 13 against Detroit.
Mize was strong, limiting a potent Chicago White Sox lineup to five hits in seven innings. Three of the five hits, though, were solo home runs.
Yoan Moncada, who came in on a six-game hitting streak and hitting .380 in his previous 16 games, hit a well-placed, 1-2 splitter over the fence in left in the first inning.
