Torkelson's 2-run double in the ninth inning gives Tigers 4-3 win over
White Sox
[April 07, 2025]
DETROIT (AP) — Spencer Torkelson smacked a two-run double to cap
Detroit's three-run rally in the ninth inning and give the Tigers a 4-3
win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.
Torkelson's one-out hit off Jordan Leasure (0-1) followed a bases-loaded
walk by Andy Ibáñez. John Brebbia (1-0) got the win with one inning of
scoreless relief.

Javier Báez had three hits and drove in a run
for the Tigers. Jackson Jobe gave up three runs, two earned, and
struck out four in five innings in his second career start.
White Sox starter Martín Pérez limited the Tigers to one run and
four hits in 6 1/3 innings. Signed as a free agent in January,
Pérez held Minnesota hitless for six innings in his White Sox
debut last Monday.
Andrew Vaughn hit an RBI single and Matt Thaiss and Jacob Amaya
drove in runs with sacrifice flies for the White Sox, who have
lost five straight.
White Sox designated hitter Andrew Benintendi was removed in the
fifth inning due to left adductor tightness.
Key moment
Baez led off the ninth with a hit and Zach McKinstry and Riley
Greene drew one-out walks against Fraser Ellard to load the
bases. That forced White Sox manager Will Venable to bring in
Leasure.
Key stat
The Tigers have won 15 of their last 18 against the White Sox,
including the three-game series sweep.
Up next
White Sox: Begin a three-game series in Cleveland on Tuesday.
Rookie RHP Shane Smith (0-0) is scheduled to make his second
career start in the opener against LHP Logan Allen (0-1).
Tigers: Start a three-game homestand against the New York
Yankees on Monday. All of those games have been moved from night
starts to the afternoon because of expected cold temperatures.
RHP Casey Mize (1-0) will start the series opener against LHP
Carlos Rodon (1-1).
