Take Two

Trying to put a Friday night, 8-2 loss behind them, the Tigers’ first game of a Saturday double header with the Chicago White Sox wasn’t quite what they were looking for, as they squandered a good start from Michael Fulmer. Tiger hitters left a lot of offense out on the field. With a lot of help from White Sox pitcher Tyler Danish, just up from the minors, six Tigers would get on base in the first 4 innings, but they would score none. Tiger hitters would load the bases in the 7^th, but would again not score.

Following two singles and a bunt, Chicago White Sox, Yolmer Sanchez would ground into a double play in the 5^th. However, Anderson would score, giving the Sox the 1-0 lead. Chicago would tack on two more runs in the 8^th off of a triple, and a broken bat single. Tiger batters would stay quiet, and the Sox would hold on for the 3-0 win.

Michael Fulmer had a strong outing. In eight innings of work, he would give up 3 runs on 9 hits, with 4 strikeouts and only 1 walk. Tiger hitters would only record 4 hits and would not score, in spite of 9 walks issued by Sox pitchers.

Game two with the White Sox picks right up where the first game left off, with roughly a half hour of post-game coverage. Buck Farmer(6.84 ERA) takes the mound for the Tigers. Chicago will counter with Derek Holland(4-3  2.47 ERA).You can tune into that game right now on 95.3 WBCK.
