CHICAGO — In Thursday's 2-1 win, Detroit Tigers closer Gregory Soto needed support from his teammates and coaches. In Friday's 7-5 win, reliever Michael Fulmer needed to find his slider.
Both pitchers executed with the game on the line.
The efforts of Soto, a left-hander, and Fulmer, a right-hander, helped the Tigers to consecutive wins against the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field, extending their streak to six.
"Everything we do doesn't matter until you get to the end of the game," catcher Eric Haase said.
