"Righty Charlie Morton was on the bump for the Tigers. He's had decidedly mixed results since the trade deadline deal that brought him to the D, including allowing 11 earned runs in his last two starts. The White Sox led off with a Mike Tauchman single to right. A liner that Colt Keith dropped initially was a prime double play candidate, but Keith misplayed it by throwing to first instead of second and the Tigers only got the batter, moving Tauchman to second."
"Chicago's starter was righty Davis Martin. He has a propensity for walking batters and showed that immediately by walking Gleyber Torres. Kerry Carpenter smashed a ground rule double to left center, a fly ball that bounced over the bullpen fence. Riley Greene battled and worked a walk, loading the bases with nobody out. Spencer Torkelson flew out to shallow center, not deep enough to score a run...normally, that is. The throw home was way off-line, the catcher whiffed on it, and the pitcher didn't back it up properly. All of that meant that the throw went into the dugout, allowing two runners to score."
Multiple Tigers pitchers struggled while the offense failed to provide support, producing a sloppy, error-filled contest that the White Sox ultimately won. Charlie Morton allowed early runs and threw 33 pitches in the first inning, extending a stretch of uneven performances after the trade deadline. Chicago produced initial offense via Andrew Benintendi's double and capitalized on Tigers' defensive misplays. Davis Martin walked batters but Detroit gained a temporary lead after wild throws and a catcher whiff sent runs home. Defensive lapses, wild pitches, and poor hitting defined the game's momentum swings and outcome.
