The Chicago White Sox (39–34, DOWN 0-2 and FACING ELIMINATION!) travel to Comerica Park for what could be a DISASTER against the Detroit Tigers (30–43, SHOCKING DOMINANCE!) on Sunday afternoon! This has been an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE for us on this road trip! We’ve LOST BOTH GAMES 4 and 5 to one of the worst teams in baseball! Tarik Skubal (returning from injury) dominated us in Game 4 with 8 strikeouts, Kerry Carpenter hit a 2-run double to put the Tigers ahead, and we COULDN’T RECOVER! Then we lost again in Game 5 and now we’re FACING A SWEEP by a 30-43 team! We’re still DIVISION-LEADING overall, but this road trip has been a COMPLETE EMBARRASSMENT! We’re 12-16 away from home and it shows! We NEED this win or we head home with our tail between our legs after losing to a terrible team!
