The Detroit Tigers defeated the Chicago White Sox 4–1 on June 20 at Comerica Park in a low-scoring affair that fell short of the Vegas total of 8.5 runs. Detroit's offense was modest but efficient, collecting just 7 hits while driving in 4 runs, with a .705 OPS that reflected the sluggish run environment. Chicago managed only 4 hits and 1 run despite a slightly better .733 OPS, striking out 7 times and leaving runners stranded. The Tigers' pitching staff held the White Sox to 1 earned run across the game, though Detroit's own starter allowed 3 earned runs while striking out 7. Both teams struggled at the plate—the White Sox batted .238 with a single home run, while Detroit hit .233—yet the Tigers' pitching advantage proved decisive. Detroit's defense committed one error, a minor blemish in an otherwise controlled performance that showcased pitching depth over offensive firepower. The White Sox's inability to generate consistent contact suggests continued offensive inconsistency as they navigate the middle stretch of the season.
