The Detroit Tigers fell to the Chicago White Sox 9-6 in a rain-delayed game highlighted by a five-run fifth that saw Jack Flaherty tagged for five earned runs on eight hits across 4 1/3 innings. Six straight singles to start the fifth paved the way for a late surge that put Chicago ahead, with Gleyber Torres mixing in a misplayed ball that briefly opened the door for the visitors. Detroit briefly steadied, but stayed short on rally opportunities after the frame. Dillon Dingler then sparked a seventh-inning moment, pulling one over Luis Robert Jr. for a two-run homer that trimmed the lead to 6-3 before the bullpen kept Chicago ahead. The late offense wasn’t enough as Colton Keith added a three-run shot in the ninth to close the gap, sealing a tough night for fantasy managers who chased a comeback in a messy, multi-hour tilt. Flaherty’s line and the Tigers’ upcoming schedule will be critical data points for rostering decisions as the season winds down.
