Tigers Drop the Ball Against the White Sox 
A tough night for our Detroit Tigers as they couldn't overcome the visiting Chicago White Sox, losing 9-5. It was a game filled with missed chances, untimely errors, and a lack of key hits when it mattered most.Early Innings Struggles: The Slow Start
The first couple of innings saw both teams getting off to a slow start. In the top of the 1st, we got a quick 1-2-3 inning from our pitcher, but our own batters couldn't capitalize either. By the end of the 2nd inning, the White Sox had already taken a 2-0 lead thanks to singles from Bryan Ramos and Korey Lee. Our boys struggled to respond, ending the 2nd with only one hit by Wenceel Pérez.Tough Third Inning: Sosa's Homer Crushes Us
The third inning was where things started to fall apart. Lenyn Sosa hit a three-run homer off us, putting the White Sox up 5-0. Our own attempts to respond in the bottom of the inning fell short, despite singles from Spencer Torkelson and Parker Meadows.Rally Time: Carpenter's Moment of Glory 
Our highlight came in the bottom of the 5th when Kerry Carpenter hit a massive grand slam to right-center! That got us back in the game, cutting the deficit to 5-4. There was a sense of hope and excitement that maybe we could turn this game around.Seventh Inning Woes: Defense Collapses 
But the 7th inning was a disaster. The White Sox added four more runs, capitalizing on our errors and miscues. Despite Luis Robert Jr. and Zach DeLoach being contained initially, our defensive errors allowed them to build their lead to 9-4. This inning really hurt us and dampened the morale.The Final Push: A Glimmer of Hope
We clawed one back in the bottom of the 8th with Matt Vierling bringing in a run, but it wasn't enough. We went into the 9th needing a miracle, but closing out strong was not in the cards today. Parker Meadows got a single, but Kerry Carpenter grounding into a double play ended our night.Final Thoughts: Tough Loss, Lessons to Learn
Final score: 9-5, White Sox win. It's a disappointing result and a tough pill to swallow, but we saw moments of brilliance (that grand slam by Kerry Carpenter was something else!). Let's take this as a learning experience and regroup for the next game. Keep the faith, Tigers fans.
Go Tigers!
