White Sox vs. Tigers 6-09-10
The Chicago White Sox haven't gotten much out of their pitching staff this season, but Freddy Garcia has provided mostly solid performances over the past month.
He's had plenty of them against the Detroit Tigers in recent years.
While attempting to earn his sixth victory in seven starts, the right-hander also tries to improve to 9-1 in his last 11 outings against the Tigers on Wednesday night.
One of the main reasons for Chicago's struggles this season is a 4.85 ERA that's next-to-last in the AL, and the White Sox gave up six runs in the seventh inning Tuesday in a series-opening 7-2 loss to Detroit.
Mark Kotsay drove in Chicago's only runs on a fourth-inning homer, and the Tigers (30-27) took the lead for good in the seventh, scoring five of their six runs off Matt Thornton. The veteran reliever entered the game second on the White Sox with a 2.10 ERA.
