Game Updates
The White Sox's offense erupted in a 9-6 slugfest victory over the Tigers Tuesday night, powered by a breakout performance from rookie catcher Edgar Quero. The 22-year-old delivered the decisive blows with a 3-for-5 night, including his first career home run and a career-high 3 RBI, as Chicago's lineup wore down Detroit's pitching staff. Quero's two-run single in the sixth broke a 5-5 tie, while Curtis Mead (2-for-5, 2 R) and Mike Tauchman (2-for-4) provided key support in a 13-hit attack. The White Sox bullpen bent but didn't break, with Jordan Leasure slamming the door in the ninth after Mike Vasil allowed three runs over 2.2 innings.
Detroit's offense showed life early against Yoendrys Gomez, tagging him for five runs in just 5 innings, but couldn't overcome a shaky bullpen performance. Dillon Dingler's pinch-hit two-run homer in the seventh briefly tied the game, while Colt Keith (2-for-5, 3 RBI) continued his strong season. The loss drops the Tigers further back in the AL Central race, while the White Sox gain momentum in their push for respectability in a disappointing campaign.
