White Sox knock off Tigers 7-3
(DETROIT) - It was a big night for the bench coaches at Comerica Park. With both managers gone because of a suspension and an ejection, Joe McEwing and Steve Liddle guided their teams through the late innings Friday night. McEwing's Chicago White Sox ultimately won, beating Liddle's Detroit Tigers 7-3. The White Sox were without manager Rick Renteria and shortstop Tim Anderson who were both serving suspensions for their actions during Wednesday's bench-clearing fracas against Kansas City. Liddle, on the other hand, took over in the top of the fifth after Tigers manager Ron Gardenhire was ejected. Yoan Moncada hit a mammoth home run in the first inning for Chicago, which eventually broke the game open with five runs in the seventh. Carlos Rodon (3-2) allowed a run and three hits in six innings for the White Sox. Gardenhire was tossed in the fifth for having words with plate umpire Todd Tichenor after Tigers starter Jordan Zimmermann (0-3) walked in a run to give the White Sox a 2-1 lead. Josh Harrison, Grayson Greiner and Niko Goodrum homered for Detroit's three runs, but it was Moncada's drive in the first that stood out.
