I know it’s only two games, and I know the Tigers are struggling, but you take them when you can. The Tigers had a 3-1 lead going into the sixth when Paul Konerko singled in a run to cut the lead to one. Then in the seventh, Scott Podsednick drove in two runs to put the White Sox up for good.

Joe Crede went two for four and extended his hitting streak to 12 games. He’s now hitting .296, and he’s only struck out five times in 54 at bats.

Mark Buehrle looked mortal, but still held the Tigers to three runs through seven. He’s now 3-1. Takatsu got his ERA under 10.00 by pitching a shutout inning in the ninth to garner his fifth save.
