This was one of those games that looked like the Tigers were out of early, being down 5 runs after 6 innings. Then the Tigers bounce back and score four in the seventh to cut the lead to one, putting them back in it. Some clutch two out hitting off of Jamie Walker got the Sox two more with back to back singles by the Alomar brothers, then a bases clearing double by Carlos Lee put the White Sox up by three.
Carlos Pena tried to get things going with a solo homer off of Flash Gordon in the ninth, but it wasn’t enough.
