Starter Mike Clevinger, activated from the
15-day injured list after recovering from wrist inflammation,
gave up three hits and a walk while striking out six in five
innings. Keynan Middleton (1-0) picked up the victory and
Kendall Graveman notched his fifth save.
Detroit starter Reese Olson (0-1), making his major league debut
after being promoted from Triple-A Toledo, had a no-hitter
through five innings. He gave up two hits in the sixth and was
charged with the loss. Olson allowed one walk and struck out six
batters in five-plus innings.
The Tigers went 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position.
The only baserunner in the first three innings was the White
Sox's Andrew Vaughn, who drew a two-out walk in the second.
Detroit had runners in scoring position in the fourth when
Javier Baez hit a two-out triple and Spencer Torkelson walked
and stole second. Clevinger then struck out Nick Maton.
Miguel Cabrera and Andy Ibanez hit one-out singles in the fifth.
After a fielder's choice, Zach McKinstry flied out to right.
Olson allowed his first hit to Romy Gonzalez, who led off the
sixth. Anderson followed with a single that moved Gonzalez to
third and Olson was replaced by Will Vest. Benintendi greeted
him with a single, bringing home Gonzalez. After a strikeout,
Jimenez singled up the middle to knock in Anderson.
Detroit had another threat going against Reynaldo Lopez in the
seventh. Eric Haase doubled and Cabrera walked. Lopez then set
down the next three batters on a fielder's choice, popout and
groundout.
Chicago added to its lead in the seventh. Yasmani Grandal walked
and Jake Burger hit into a fielder's choice against Chasen
Shreve. With two out, Mason Englert relieved Shreve and Anderson
ripped a double down the third-base line to score Burger from
first base.
Detroit had a pair of baserunners in the eighth but Joe Kelly
responded by striking out the next two batters and inducing a
Haase groundout.
