The White Sox (75-71) snuck past the Detroit Tigers (55-90) (pain) tonight, once again in extra innings. It felt exactly like last night’s game, too, but this time Chicago spared us and came out on top.
Johnny Cueto was due to start, but he is under the weather so it became Davis Martin Night, ladies and gentlemen. Martin has a 4.09 ERA on the season, and as a spot-starter this year on a team riddled by as much nonsense and injuries as the Sox, he’s done a pretty good job. Davis walked Riley Greene to start the game, but quickly induced a double play to shut that down and get out of the inning.
