CHICAGO (AP) — Tim Elko singled and scored pinch runner
Korey Lee in the 10th inning to give the Chicago White Sox a 3-2,
walk-off win over the American League-leading Detroit Tigers on
Thursday.
With the win, Chicago split the four-game series. The Tigers had swept
the White Sox in April in the first of four series between the teams
this season. |

Rookie infielder Chase Meidroth went 2 for 2
with three walks and an RBI for the White Sox. Josh Rojas was 3
for 4 with a run scored.
Reliever Steven Wilson (2-1, 1.89 ERA) worked a scoreless 10th
inning for the win, stranding two baserunners. Beau Brieske
(1-3, 4.57) took the loss, allowing a hit and a walk while
getting just one out in the 10th.
Casey Mize worked 4 2/3 innings for the Tigers, allowing two
earned runs, six hits and four walks. In the fourth, the White
Sox took the early lead on a sacrifice fly by Mike Tauchman and
an RBI single from Meidroth.
Chicago's Sean Burke had the longest outing of his young career,
striking out five in seven innings. The 25-year-old kept Detroit
scoreless through six before allowing a solo homer to Wenceel
Pérez and an RBI single to Dillon Dingler that tied the game at
2 in the seventh.
Key moment
Brieske intentionally walked Andrew Benintendi to begin the 10th
inning, then a sacrifice bunt put both runners in scoring
position. Elko delivered a ground ball into left field for the
win.
Key stat
Chicago relievers Cam Booser, Dan Altavilla and Wilson combined
for a one-hitter over the final three innings.
Up next
The White Sox continue their homestand on Friday, opening a
three-game series against the Royals. The Tigers are home
against the Cubs on Friday.
