  • Jack Flaherty earned the win in his Comerica Park return, allowing one run and striking out seven over 5 2/3 innings.
  • Riley Greene contributed three hits, including a 114.3 mph solo home run, the second-hardest-hit ball of his career.
  • The Tigers' offense also saw contributions from Zach McKinstry, Trey Sweeney, Spencer Torkelson, and Dillon Dingler, each driving in runs.
  • The White Sox, now 2-5 on the season, continued their struggles after a historically poor 2024, despite a ninth-inning rally that fell short.
