The Chicago White Sox, for the third game in a row, grabbed a first-inning lead against the Detroit Tigers.
In those three opening frames, the White Sox scored one run Friday off left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez, two runs Saturday off right-hander Casey Mize and two runs Sunday off lefty Tarik Skubal.
To go with the two early runs in Sunday’s series finale, the White Sox continued to hammer Skubal, adding two runs in the third inning and one more in the fourth. The Tigers’ offense, meanwhile, never showed up in the 10-1 loss at Comerica Park.

The Tigers (1-2) scored their one run on two hits and two walks.
They also had two throwing errors, including a lazy throw from shortstop Javier Báez that pulled first baseman Spencer Torkelson off the bag in the fourth inning. The mistake from Báez, who signed a six-year, $140 million contract this offseason, led to the White Sox’s fourth run.
