Back in Boston, the White Sox had a chance to sweep a four-game series, but instead had to settle for a split after blowing leads in both ends of the doubleheader finale.

Today against Detroit, the White Sox were able to pay it forward to the Tigers, taking both games of their second consecutive doubleheader via the comeback. They erased a 2-0 lead in the opener for a 5-2 victory, then overcame a 2-1 deficit in the seventh for a 3-2 winner.

Eddie Cicotte found himself in the unfamiliar position of falling behind 2-0 thanks to a pair of unearned runs — a passed ball by Bird Lynn in the first, and an error by Swede Risberg in the fourth.
