Eric Haase homered off Liam Hendriks with one out to tie the
game. After Austin Meadows hit a two-out triple, Baez hit a
blast toward the right-field wall. White Sox outfielder A.J.
Pollock made the catch after bobbling the ball but replay review
showed the ball hit off the wall first before reaching Pollock's
glove, making it a base hit by rule.
Baez was making his Tigers debut after signing a six-year
contract as a free agent. Miguel Cabrera had a two-run single,
while Meadows and Robbie Grossman scored two runs apiece for
Detroit.
Gregory Soto gave up a home run to Andrew Vaughn in the top of
the ninth but was credited with the win.
Pollock had three hits, a run scored and an RBI for Chicago.
Chicago starter Lucas Giolito tossed four scoreless innings,
allowing one hit while striking out six, then departed with
abdominal tightness on his left side. Detroit starter Eduardo
Rodriguez gave up three runs on four hits in four innings.
Rodriguez got into trouble with two out in the first. He issued
walks to Jose Abreu and Yasmani Grandal before Eloy Jimenez
smacked a run-scoring single to center.
The White Sox scored two two-out runs in the second. Pollock had
an RBI single and Luis Robert then doubled to left to bring him
in.
Chicago had runners in scoring position with one out against
Tigers reliever Drew Hutchison in the fifth. Hutchison escaped
the jam as Grandal popped out and Jimenez grounded out.
Detroit scored a run in the sixth but was disappointed not to
get more. Grossman was hit by a pitch and Meadows walked. After
a fly out, Jeimer Candelario ripped a single to center to score
Grossman. Cabrera then hit a bouncer and Candelario was forced
out at second.
The relay pulled the first baseman off the bag but Candelario
was called for interference and Cabrera was also ruled out.
Detroit loaded the bases with one out against Aaron Bummer in
the eighth on singles by Grossman and Baez, sandwiching a walk
to Meadows. After Candelario struck out, Hendriks entered the
game. Cabrera promptly tied the game with a two-run single. Akil
Baddoo then grounded out with the bases loaded.
