The Chicago White Sox pulled off a crucial road sweep of the Detroit Tigers, delivering the final blow with a 7-5 victory on Sunday.
Detroit had previously fallen to Chicago 9-5 on Friday and 4-3 on Saturday. It's the first time that the White Sox have swept the Tigers since 2022.
The White Sox's win came despite a mediocre showing from ace Sean Burke, who allowed four runs early in the game and was pulled after 4 1/3 innings. However, a two-run home run Munetaka Murakami and a vital relief outing from Sean Newcomb ended up being the difference in the sweep-clinching win.
Detroit struck first, scoring three runs in the bottom of the second off RBIs from Brett Callahan — a recent call-up who hit the RBI triple on his first major league pitch — and Max Clark. Chicago rookie Sam Antonacci got one back with an RBI single in the third, but a Colt Keith solo homer gave the Tigers an early 4-1 lead.
The White Sox then slowly built their way back into the game, first with Drew Romo's two-run homer in the fifth and then an RBI single from Colson Montgomery to tie the game at 4-all.
