Tigers vs White Sox

The Chicago White Sox took on the Detroit Tigers in a three-game series this past week. The atmosphere at the ballpark was pretty electric, which was not surprising, since it was a battle between the Sox are in second, and the Tigers are in first. With a sweep, the White Sox would have retaken the American League central division lead.

In the end, the Sox took two of the three games, despite playing pretty sloppily: they ran the bases poorly and didn't really play great defense. But they made clutch plays and delivered clutch hits in key situations (just like they did all last year during their World Series run). Although the performance was not good enough to regain first, the two wins proved a point to the Tigers that the Sox are still the superior team. The White Sox are 5-1 against the Tigers this year, which bodes very well for the rest of their 12 or 13 matchups the rest of the season...
