Tigers

The rain held off in Chicago, long enough for the Tigers to get a two-game sweep the White Sox with a 5-1 win on Wednesday.  Four games on the east coast were washed out yesterday.  The Tigers got all the runs they needed in a four-run fourth. Bryan Holaday capped the rally with a two-run double. Both Victor Martinez and Bryan Holaday had two RBI.  Max Scherzer threw six scoreless innings, scattering four hits and striking out s and improved to 3-1. Detroit is off today and will finish their road trip with a weekend series against the Kansas City Royals.  The Tigers send Rick Porcello to the hill.  Broadcast time is 7:45 on WBCK-FM.
