The Detroit Tigers delivered an impressive performance on Sunday, dominating the Chicago White Sox with an 11-2 victory in front of a spirited crowd of 22,975 at Comerica Park. This significant triumph sealed a 2-1 series win for the Tigers against their division rivals, providing a much-needed morale boost for both the team and their supporters.
The Tigers exhibited a potent offense right from the start, particularly highlighted by a dynamic first inning that established the momentum for the game. Colt Keith spearheaded the offensive charge, narrowly missing a cycle with his outstanding performance. The team quickly surged to a commanding 9-0 lead in the first two innings, amassing a total of 16 hits and four home runs. Akil Baddoo, Riley Greene, and Zach McKinstry all contributed to the home run spree, showcasing an offensive prowess that had been lacking in previous matches.
Manager AJ Hinch commended the team’s collective effort, emphasizing the challenges faced daily and the importance of savoring victories. He remarked, “We had a really good game. We had really good at-bats. It was a really good offensive day for us. It continues to demonstrate to us that we’re very capable.”

Starting pitcher Reese Olson benefited from robust run support, enabling him to navigate through six innings effectively with three strikeouts and zero walks. Olson acknowledged the significance of his teammates’ offensive contributions, expressing his satisfaction with the team’s performance and the positive atmosphere in the dugout. He stated, “Happy to sit, obviously. Everyone’s having fun. Everyone’s loose. It’s big for the morale. It’s fun, for sure.”
The Tigers’ offensive onslaught commenced with Matt Vierling’s triple in the first inning, followed by Keith’s home run and Baddoo’s two-run blast. By the conclusion of the first inning, Detroit had achieved hitting for the cycle, a remarkable accomplishment not witnessed since 2006.
Sunday’s triumph brought a ray of hope in what has been a difficult season for Detroit. Keith, who has been performing exceptionally well with a batting average of .385 in the last ten games, expressed his joy by saying, “That was truly enjoyable. It was something our team really required.”
Following this morale-boosting victory, the Tigers are now focusing on the upcoming three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Their goal is to maintain the positive momentum from Sunday’s game and further enhance their performance, with the aim of bringing more excitement to their fans through strong displays on the field.
