The Detroit Tigers came into this Sunday afternoon tilt against the Chicago White Sox, looking for a series sweep. Tarik Skubal was a bit rattled early but settled down. Meanwhile, the White Sox pitchers struggled to locate the strike zone, in particular starter Michael Kopech who was chased early. Still, the struggles of the Tigers bats with runners in scoring position reared their ugly heads and they nearly let the sweep slip away. Fortunately, a late home run from Spencer Torkelson saved the day as they broke out the brooms for a 3-2 win.
The first inning looked like it might be heading for another good start for Detroit, as they put their first two runners on, with a stolen base by Akil Baddoo as the White Sox continued to struggle holding runners.
