Garrett Hill was sloppy in his second major league start and was rocked early on as the White Sox shut the Tigers streak down at six games with a 8-0 victory on Saturday.
The Tigers started things off with a one-out Victor Reyes single in the first, but no more as Javier Báez grounded into a double play.
Hill wasn’t nearly as bad as his line looked, but a couple key at-bats early decided his fate. With one out, Andrew Vaughn doubled, and Hill fell behind Luis Robert and eventually walked him. That brought up Jose Abrue, who battled Hill through a long at-bat but popped out, and it looked like Hill might escape without any damage.
