"After taking the first game of this series with a crooked number on the board, the team got shut out yesterday afternoon against Tarik Skubal. Chicago looks to bounce back this afternoon with Davis Martin on the mound against Charlie Morton, to grab the series win on the road and continue an impressive stretch. Oh yeah, and it is officially their last game of 17 games with no day off, so the team will get a much-needed break after today."
"If there was any pitcher on the Tigers to hit off of, it would be him. The 41-year-old veteran righty was traded to the Tigers from the Baltimore Orioles at the trade deadline, and immediately added to their rotation. His last few outings haven't been the best, especially last time out against the New York Mets when Morton went just 3 2/3 IP with five hits, six runs, four walks, and three strikeouts."
The White Sox travel to Detroit to close a series against the AL Central-leading Tigers and seek a series win after a shutout loss. Davis Martin will start for Chicago, carrying a 6-9 record, 4.06 ERA, and 1.20 WHIP, with recent improvement and a win in his last outing versus Minnesota. Charlie Morton starts for Detroit, holding a 9-10 record, 5.51 ERA, and 1.51 WHIP, and has struggled in recent starts including 3 2/3 innings against the Mets. The lineup features Mike Tauchman leading off, Kyle Teel, Lenyn Sosa, and Andrew Benintendi. First pitch is 12:40 p.m. CT on CHSN and ESPN 1000.
