A questionable sacrifice bunt, a lot of strikeouts and career days from Detroit’s Tarik Skubal and Eric Haase doomed the White Sox (35-23) on Saturday.
The White Sox’s City Connect uniforms looked great in the afternoon sunlight, but their play wasn’t equally sharp in a 4-3 loss to the Tigers. The Chicago 9 struck out 16 times and gave up three home runs, as Lucas Giolito fell for the second time to Detroit this season.
It’d be hard to script a better start for the South Siders, who saw Giolito toss a 1-2-3 first inning, and then recorded two base hits to start the bottom half.
