Erik Johnson makes case for spot in 2016 rotation in White Sox win
In his last start of the season, Erik Johnson made another strong case for a rotation spot in 2016.
Outside of one mistake, the right-hander picked apart the Tigers lineup over 6 1/3 innings, allowing just two runs in the White Sox 4-3 win on Saturday in front of 17,772 fans at U.S. Cellular Field.

The Sox got going early when Adam Eaton tallied a leadoff single and a stolen base off starter Justin Verlander in the first inning. Melky Cabrera knocked a double to right two batters later to drive in Eaton, who picked up his 98th run of the season.
