Rony Garcia got the starting nod today, facing off against a freshly rehabbed Lance Lynn and the Chicago White Sox. If ever there was going to be a series where Tony La Russa should make some boneheaded managerial decisions, it would be nice if he could do it against the Tigers.
The scoring started early, as Pollock hit a leadoff single, then Vaughn singled but tried to leg it out to a double and got tagged out at second. Abreu homered to score himself and Pollock and put the Sox up 2-0 early. The Tigers answered back in the bottom of the inning as Willi Castro hit a home run to leadoff the inning.
