Detroit — The Tigers faced a left-handed starter for the first time this season on Friday.
Carlos Rodon set the bar low for Detroit's offensive improvement the second time with one run allowed in six innings, giving the Chicago White Sox a 7-3 victory at Comerica Park.
Rodon struck out six batters and allowed three hits, drawing the Sox even on a four-game series that continues with a pair this weekend and dropping the Tigers to 9-10.
While two Tigers went deep for the first time this season, Nick Castellanos, Miguel Cabrera and Jeimer Candelario are all still homerless in 203 combined at-bats for Friday's No.
