Chicago White Sox pitcher Michael Burke tossed six scoreless innings, holding the playoff-bound Detroit Tigers to one run on two hits as Chicago snapped its season-high losing streak. The White Sox won for only the fourth time in their last five games after setting the post-1900 record for losses just a night earlier.
Making his fourth big league appearance, Burke struck out six and walked three, helping stop Detroit's six-game winning streak.
“We had a couple of chances early to change his day,” Detroit manager A.J. Hinch said. “They got somebody up early because I think he had 30 pitches in the first and never really broke through.” “It’s nothing I haven’t pitched in before,” Burke said, who played college ball at Maryland. “I’m from Massachusetts and went to a Big Ten school, so I got used to pitching in this stuff. After the first two innings, I kind of settled in.”Detroit, which will be the No. 2 or 3 wild card in the AL playoffs, on Friday clinched its first postseason berth since 2014 with its 10th win in 11 games.
