Final Thoughts:
Crazy game! Just when you thought the Tigers had this game won. They went to their Bullpen. And that's when the White Sox rally started. The Sox could have screwed themselves, with the Abreu baserunning blunder, in his 2nd home run, in the Bottom of 7th Inning. As for the Tigers, their bullpen showed fatigue. 

Tigers have not announced their starter for tomorrow. If the game plays tomorrow (Inclement Weather) Reynaldo Lopez will go for the White Sox.
