00:00There are still storylines in place, even though the Tigers clinched last night, they
00:09can clinch the second wild card spot.
00:12I do want to give a quick shout out to Heather Nabozny, the head groundskeeper here at Comerica
00:17Park.
00:18When you go to two and a half hour rain delay, honestly, the job she and her crew did to
00:22get this plane surface ready is incredible.
00:24Tigers starting pitcher is Bo Brisky, he's brought to you by wall side windows.
00:29He's Tiger's pitcher to start 10 games and finish 10 plus games since Dave Rosemob with
00:36that sub four ERA in 1980.
00:38Yeah, Bo Brisky is becoming the right handed version of Tyler Holt.
00:42I mean, he's been pitching those late inning, high leverage situations, and now he's called
00:48upon to get his 12th start of the year and his first since September 14th.
00:54First pitch swinging, the White Sox are double parked.
00:58Straight away and it is eventually Parker Meadows.
01:02There's one away.
01:03The three twos swinging a pop up to left field.
01:06Wenzel Perez at left today, back a step, in a step, makes a catch, two up, two down in
01:10the first inning.
01:11The 0-2.
01:12Swing and a miss, fastball, a powerful first inning for Bo Brisky.
01:1699, White Sox been intending.
01:18We go to the bottom of the first inning.
01:20There's a look at Sean Burke, who's putting together a couple of really nice starts and
01:24hopefully more of the same here today.
01:25This will be his third start, fourth appearance, looking for a second win with an ERA under
01:29two.
01:30Last three games, Parker Meadows comes in here six for 12.
01:33It will now be a 10 pitch at bat to start this bottom of the first inning.
01:38Strike three looking.
01:40There's that change up.
01:41Burke breaking out all four pitches in his first inning.
01:44And a promising way to start this game.
01:46Well, the only knock on Burke coming into the game, a 7% walk rate, and he has walked
01:52two of the first three hitters he's faced.
01:54The 2-1 to Green is lined to second.
01:57Going to be an easy double play as Perez, for some reason, didn't freeze or go back
02:02after an inning from Detroit.
02:04Nothing, nothing.
02:05This is, this is a football crowd right here.
02:09You know that?
02:10The ponchos, the coats, the umbrellas.
02:12Well, just that kind of like hazy low ceiling, too, because it's fall.
02:17Very well.
02:18You know, I mean, like, we're coming at them.
02:20We're going to stick this out.
02:21They want to see these Tigers play.
02:24Hey, Bo Briskey made his way into the crowd.
02:26Bo can do everything.
02:27I mean, he's still on the mound and he's in the crowd.
02:30So Bo Briskey has retired the first five White Sox hitters he's faced.
02:34And Brian Ramos steps in.
02:35Hit well down the line.
02:37Left field going back.
02:39And it is gone.
02:41Brian Ramos with his third home run of the season.
02:45And the White Sox strike first.
02:47A 1-0 lead in this second inning.
02:49He wasn't sure if it was going to get out of here, so he was off to the races.
02:53Running hard just in case.
02:55Change up.
02:56Nailed it.
02:57Took off thinking this might be two.
02:59I don't know.
03:00Then he broke it down around first base once he saw it clear the fence.
03:04Oh, my.
03:05Look at that.
03:06I mean, that, it doesn't get any cuter than that.
03:09Kangaroo peeking out of the pouch.
03:11Just going to say.
03:12Look at that.
03:13Kanga and Roo.
03:14Yep.
03:15That's awesome.
03:16Two on, two out.
03:181-0 Sox.
03:19We're in the second.
03:20The pitch.
03:21Swing and a miss.
03:22Stayed upstairs and got them.
03:23Third strikeout for Sean Burke.
03:25We go to the third.
03:26This might be one of those days you just try to get five innings in.
03:31Definitely seems that way.
03:33You see the glistening of the dirt on the infield and you realize it's not being absorbed
03:36anymore.
03:37So Burke now acclimated to these uncomfortable conditions.
03:40Looking to set down the Tigers in order for the first time in this third inning.
03:44Swing and a miss on a high fastball.
03:46Carpenter strikes out.
03:47And it's quickly two up and two down here in the third.
03:493-2.
03:50Got him looking.
03:53Back-to-back punchouts for Sean Burke in his third big league start.
03:56That's the inning he needed.
03:57He's now retired five straight.
04:00He's got five strikeouts through three.
04:02The new pitcher in the ballgame, it is Ty Madden, who's on for the sixth time as ERA.
04:06A touch above three and a half.
04:08You can sense the Tigers taking their foot off the gas, but there's still something left
04:12for them to play for.
04:13Benintendi crushes this one down the right field line.
04:16And it's a fair ball.
04:18It's going to rattle around that wet corner.
04:22As the throw comes in a second, a double for Benintendi in his sixth inning.
04:27So a one-out double.
04:28Here's Vaughn.
04:29And he can do two things right here if he hits a home run, right?
04:32Hit number 20 and get over 70 RBIs.
04:35Yes.
04:36Right now, I'd rather him just get the 70 RBIs with a base hit.
04:39Focus on that.
04:40Good things will come.
04:41On the ground and past the diving young, Benintendi.
04:45He'll be waved in.
04:48And the White Sox extend their lead 2-0 in this sixth inning.
04:5170th run driven in by Andrew Vaughn as he takes it right down the line.
04:55The Andrews did it again.
04:57Benintendi and Vaughn with another run, giving the Sox a two-run lead.
05:01It's up to Fletcher.
05:021-1.
05:03Shattered bat.
05:04Ground ball.
05:05Second base.
05:06Keith Spencer-Torkelson getting over.
05:09It's a day of Sean Burke, and it started off a little sketchy and got much better as he
05:13moved along.
05:14Five innings.
05:15Just a couple of hits.
05:16No runs.
05:17It was a good run.
05:18They were early.
05:19Fan six.
05:20The stuff looked very good.
05:21This young man served.
05:22Notice that he has to be considered next spring training as Michael Sirocca comes on.
05:27The last time we saw him, maybe his best outing of the year.
05:30For a 1-2-3 inning here in the sixth.
05:32And he does it with a slider.
05:34Pitching's been great so far.
05:36We head to the seventh inning from Detroit.
05:38Look, this game matters here today, and it could decide whether or not the Tigers play
05:43the Astros or the Orioles.
05:46Missed ball.
05:47Oh, man.
05:48Two balls with outside the strike zone, and Vargas gets rung up.
05:51Ty Madden will take it.
05:53Michael Sirocca out here for the seventh inning after he sat down in the middle of the order
05:57in order in the bottom of the sixth.
05:59One of the things Grady does not want to do is go too deep in that bullpen, so it would
06:04help if Michael continues to throw the ball the way he's throwing it.
06:07He's throwing it well.
06:09Back-to-back strikeouts, and has retired the first four Tigers he's faced.
06:13I feel like he's made a lot of improvement defensively when we saw him the last couple
06:18years.
06:19Swing and a miss.
06:20Strike three on a slider.
06:21And that is three strikeouts in a row for Sirocca.
06:24One-two.
06:25On the ground.
06:26That ball just slowed down in that wet grass.
06:30As another 1-2-3 inning as Sirocca has retired the first six Tigers he has faced.
06:36White Sox with a 2-0 lead here now in this eighth inning.
06:38It's not been a very offensive day.
06:40Only six hits combined.
06:42Going to look for a little insurance later in the ballgame.
06:44Pitch is high, and he walked him, so DeLoach takes a free pass to lead off the eight.
06:51Benintendi doubled and scored his last time up in the sixth inning.
06:54Hit hard to right field, backing up Carpenter at the warning track.
06:57Now the wall, and it is out of here!
07:00Andrew Benintendi with his 20th home run of the season.
07:05And the Sox take a 4-0 lead here in this eighth.
07:08Well, we were talking about the Andrews both getting to 20, and now Andrew Benintendi has
07:14accomplished that.
07:16He completely has turned his season around, and indeed has hit the 20th home run of the
07:21year and now sits with 64 runs batted in.
07:25That ties his career high.
07:27Chance of Let's Go Tigers kicks up here, trying to draw this team back in this game.
07:33Fans still believe, and why not?
07:34This team wasn't supposed to go to the playoffs.
07:36There's no reason not to believe in anything at this point.
07:39Popped him up, shallow center field.
07:42Fletcher calling it off, and that'll do it.
07:45White Sox, with a strong effort here on a rainy Saturday afternoon, get the 4-0 win
07:51over the Tigers and take game two of this three-game series.
07:55Their 40th win, and I guess to continue the theme, it's only one more than 39, but it
08:01looks a lot better.
08:02We'll see you for the swan song tomorrow afternoon.
