Tommy Pham homered for the White Sox, who have
lost three straight. Chicago is 5-20 against American League
Central Division opponents.
Chicago's Erick Fedde (5-2) gave up two runs and five hits in
seven innings. Fedde retired the last 14 batters he faced.
The White Sox threatened with two outs in the first inning. Luis
Robert Jr. walked and Gavin Sheets singled. Flaherty threw a
wild pitch, allowing both runners to advance. He then struck out
Andrew Vaughn.
Detroit also had a chance to score in the inning as Colt Keith
singled and Mark Canha drew a two-out walk. Gio Urshela lined
out to end the inning.
The Tigers took the lead in the second. Justyn-Henry Malloy
smacked a one-out double before Kelly drilled his fourth homer
of the season over the left field wall.
Pham singled and stole second in the top of the third, but
Flaherty fanned the next three batters to keep the score at 2-0.
Riley Greene, who led off the third with a single, was the last
batter to reach against Fedde.
Pham put the White Sox on the board during his next at-bat in
the fifth, blasting his fourth homer over the left field wall.
Flaherty was removed in the sixth after giving up a two-out
single to Vaughn and a walk to Oscar Colas. Brieske replaced
Flaherty and retired Paul DeJong on a deep fly ball.
Sheets had a bloop single off Brieske with two out in the
eighth. Foley came in and set down Vaughn on a groundout.
The game ended in bizarre fashion. After DeJong was hit by a
pitch with one out, pinch hitter Andrew Benintendi flied out.
DeJong took off running, apparently losing track of the number
of outs, and was doubled off first.
