'Proud of our fight': Tigers' comeback falls short in 9-8 walk-off loss to White Sox

Chicago — This one was bananas.

It went from a drowsy blowout win for the home team to a knock-down, drag-out, last-team-standing slugfest at Guaranteed Rate Field Friday night.

The White Sox ended up being the last team standing.

Yasmani Grandal hit the second of his two home runs, this one off Rony Garcia, to tie the game 8-8 with two outs in the seventh inning. And then in the bottom of the ninth, Yermin Mercedes singled over the drawn in infield to give the White Sox a 9-8 walk-off win.

Reliever Jose Cisnero had set the table by hitting Yoan Moncada with a 2-2 slider.
