DETROIT — Carlos Rodón showed flashes of his breakthrough 2021 season in the first inning Monday against the Detroit Tigers, striking out two batters.
Rodón exited after 69 pitches and did not factor in the decision in the Chicago White Sox’s 4-3 loss to the Tigers in front of 12,844 at Comerica Park.
The Tigers broke a 3-3 tie when Harold Castro drove in Robbie Grossman with a two-out single to right in the eighth against reliever Craig Kimbrel.
Despite the loss, the Sox made progress in their quest to win the American League Central after the Cleveland Indians were swept in a doubleheader against the Kansas City Royals.
