Detroit Tigers sweep Chicago White Sox with extra‑inning win

The Detroit Tigers completed a sweep of the Chicago White Sox in a three‑game series. In the first contest, Detroit won 4‑1 behind Dillon Dingler’s two‑run homer and a strong six‑scoreless‑inning effort from rookie pitcher Troy Melton. Kenley Jansen closed the game for his ninth save.

The decisive game went to 10 innings, with the Tigers prevailing 5‑4. Dingler homered again in the eighth to pull Detroit within a run, tied the game in the ninth, and Matt Vierling delivered the game‑winning bloop single in the tenth. Detroit’s comeback was aided by timely hits from Spencer Torkelson, Zach McKinstry and others.

Off the field, the White Sox reported several roster updates. Reliever Jordan Hicks returned from rehab, while Kyle Teel and Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami showed progress in recovering from hamstring injuries. Additionally, outfielder Sam Antonacci sparked controversy with comments about deliberately allowing himself to be hit by pitches to boost his on‑base percentage.
