Tigers fall short in intense battle as White Sox surge ahead in the fifth, securing a 9-6 victory.
Chicago White Sox Secure Victory Against Detroit Tigers
In a rain-delayed game on Tuesday night, August 19, 2025, the Chicago White Sox outscored the Detroit Tigers, securing a hard-fought victory.
Left-handed pitcher Jack Flaherty, with a pre-game record of 6-11, started for the Tigers. The White Sox countered with Yoendrys Gómez on the mound, who struck out seven batters in five innings, setting the tone for the game.
The White Sox's offence kicked into gear in the fifth inning, scoring five runs to take the lead. Curtis Mead drove in a run with an infield single, while Colson Montgomery contributed with a two-run single. Edgar Quero, who led Chicago to a 13-hit night, added another run with a hit, and Andrew Benintendi scored a run when he was walked with the bases loaded.
The Tigers attempted to mount a comeback in the later innings. Wenceel Pérez scored the first run for Detroit in the fourth inning, and Dillon Dingler hit a two-run home run in an effort to close the gap. However, it was not enough, and the White Sox held on to their lead.
In the ninth inning, Vasil allowed a three-run home run to Colt Keith, but it was too little, too late for the Tigers. The final score was 8-5 in favour of the White Sox.
Quero finished the game with three hits and three RBIs for Chicago, while the Tigers' starting pitcher, Jack Flaherty, did not have his best outing, with the post-game record after the game not specified in the search results.
The Tigers have not announced a starter for the series finale, while the White Sox will be starting Smith (3-7, 4.22 ERA) on Wednesday.
