Detroit — On a day of summer splendor, with an autumn football score for an epitaph, the Tigers got another gaze Thursday at a man who could be next spring’s third baseman.
Jeimer Candelario’s hitting ranked as a rare gratifying moment for a Tigers team that endured its sixth consecutive defeat, this one a 17-7 pummeling by the Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park.
Although it was the White Sox who partied to the tune of 25 hits, the Tigers mashed four home runs, with Candelario joining Miguel Cabrera, Nicholas Castellanos, and Ian Kinsler in putting balls into the outfield chairs.
