The Detroit Tigers are gearing up to face the Chicago White Sox for the third consecutive night on Wednesday in Chicago.
In a surprising turn of events during the second game of the series on Tuesday, the Tigers’ bullpen struggled significantly, particularly in the late innings. The White Sox capitalized on this, surging ahead with a three-run sixth inning and tacking on four additional runs over the next two innings, ultimately claiming an 8-1 victory. This win halted the White Sox’s four-game losing streak.
Remarkably, this loss marked the Tigers’ first setback in 11 road matchups against the White Sox. The Tigers managed to score their sole run in the seventh inning when Dillon Dingler assisted Wenceel Perez in crossing the plate. Despite this defeat, the Tigers maintain a solid six-game lead over the Cleveland Guardians for the top position in the American League Central.
Looking ahead, the probable starting pitcher for the Tigers is Sawyer Gipson-Long, with the details for the White Sox starter yet to be announced.
