The holes in the back of the Detroit Tigers rotation and bullpen remain a glaring weakness as they wait for some of their better arms to get healthy. Joey Wentz struggled badly again on Friday night and the bullpen was rocked as the White Sox pounded out 17 hits and crushed the Tigers by a score of 12-3.
This game did not start out very auspiciously for the home team, and things never improved. A.J. Hinch was off attending his son’s graduation, and the team played like the boss was out of town.
The White Sox were on just about everything Joey Wentz threw and racked up a 3-0 lead in the top of the first with two-out hits from Andrew Vaughn and Yasmani Grandal.
