Chicago – With a nine-man bullpen, you wouldn’t expect to get caught up short in a nine-inning game, but there the Tigers were in the seventh inning Friday night against the White Sox.
As the Tigers were storming back from a 7-2 deficit, putting up six runs in the top of the seventh, right-hander Rony Garcia, who had been up in the sixth inning, continued to throw in the bullpen.
After starter Spencer Turnbull left with tightness in his forearm after four innings, manager AJ Hinch had already used Kyle Funkhouser, Joe Jimenez and Tyler Alexander to get to the seventh.
