Sanchez 3-run triple in 10th lifts White Sox over Tigers 8

DETROIT – Second baseman Ian Kinsler pegged it perfectly when he predicted that everyone would be looking for someone to blame after the Detroit Tigers lost Thursday’s game, 8-7, to the Chicago White Sox.

Choosing to bunt Kinsler in the sixth inning with runners on first and second, and no outs. Only one run was earned and he moved to 2-0 lifetime versus Chicago with a 4.15 ERA and a save in six games (2 starts). “Yeah, there is mean stuff [being said by fans], but that’s part of doing the job, really”. Avila said that his legs felt good after catching, but the Tigers still plan to keep him with the Mud Hens for eight days, in order to build up his leg strength.

“The one – it’s amusing, you only think about it because (Josh) Wilson ends up being the last out – I think about should I have run there, should I not have run there. The guy can hit”.

Kinsler and J.D. Martinez hit two-run homers for Detroit.

SAN FRANCISCO | Madison Bumgarner pitched into the eighth inning and hit his eighth career homer, helping the San Francisco Giants beat the Colorado Rockies. The last player to do that was Tim Salmon of the California Angels, as stated by STATS. It’s also the first time the team has come back to win a game when trailing in the eighth inning or later. Martinez hit a two-run homer to account for Detroit’s offense as Cleveland got eight solid innings from Carlos Carrasco.

Tigers: Catcher Alex Avila, on the disabled list since May 8 with a loose body in his left knee, is to begin a rehab assignment with Toledo on Friday.

Scherzer tossed a no-hitter last Saturday against Pittsburgh, falling one strike shy of a flawless game before hitting Jose Tabata on a 3-2 pitch with two outs. Cespedes struck out. J.Martinez homered to left on a 0-0 count, V.Martinez scored.

“Sanchez had a huge hit”, said White Sox manager Robin Ventura. He struck out five.

Eaton hit Simon’s second pitch of the game for a home run to right, his second career leadoff homer. Av.Garcia singled to right, Eaton scored, Abreu to second. Ausmus announced that left-hander David Price would start Sunday as scheduled. He was able to throw 117 pitches in a 7-2 loss to the New York Yankees on June 19th. “I didn’t do mine”, Chamberlain said.

“You can’t play these games like that, you just can’t”, Martinez said. “So it’s kind of one of those things right now where I can’t explain it”.

After the game’s postponement, Cabrera took to Twitter to address Price’s online ads for Head and Shoulders shampoo.

Right-hander Justin Verlander got a quick bullpen session in Saturday, as planned, and the plan prior to the rainout was to have him pitch Tuesday.

“I hope not. I hope not”, Ventura said.

“Josh Wilson might get me another day, but it didnt happen today.”. When the White Sox hit at least one homer, they have a 17-18 record.

2 runs, 3 hits, 0 errors, 0 left on.
