Detroit came out swinging, plating four runs in the first inning to set the tone early. However, the offense cooled off until Colt Keith delivered a clutch, game-winning RBI double in the eighth. Despite the mid-game scoring drought, every player in the Tigers’ starting lineup reached base at least once.
Riley Greene led the charge at the plate, going 3-for-5 with two RBIs, continuing his strong season.

(CONTINUED) The game also marked the long-awaited return of pitcher Sawyer Gipson-Long, who hadn’t appeared in a game for the Tigers in 615 days due to multiple injuries. Gipson-Long pitched 3-2/3 innings, allowing three runs on five hits while striking out three.
After manager A.J. Hinch pulled Gipson-Long, the Tigers’ bullpen took over and shut the door. The relief corps — Tyler Holton, Will Vest, and Tommy Kahnle — combined to hold the White Sox scoreless the rest of the way, preserving the narrow victory.
The Tigers return to action on June 5 at 2:10 p.m. Eastern for the final game of the four-game series in Chicago. Casey Mize will take the mound for Detroit, while Sean Burke gets the start for the White Sox. The Tigers will look to secure a 3–1 series win in the Windy City.
