4–2 already ran. 3–1 already ran. 7–2 already ran. This is Sunday’s unused Rate Field final.
Associated Press / ESPN, Sunday, Sept. 20, Rate Field: White Sox 8, Tigers 1. First pitch delayed 3 hours, 50 minutes by rain. Game time 2:50 after that. Attendance 21,354. Sam Antonacci a two-run double in a three-run fourth. Kyle Teel singled him home. Chase Meidroth a two-run homer in the fifth. Braden Montgomery an RBI double in the second. Davis Martin 4 1/3 scoreless, six strikeouts. Huascar Brazoban (6–2), activated from the IL Sunday, the win. Troy Melton (8–5) left with a trainer after Antonacci’s double. Max Clark a sacrifice fly in the eighth broke up the shutout.
AP: Chicago 80–76, one game behind Cleveland 81–75, a three-game lead over Houston and Toronto for the third wild card. Detroit 73–83, eliminated. An elimination is not a White Sox clinch. One game back is not a Central title.
Monday’s Tigers–Nationals and Blue Jays–Orioles are live or unstarted at this bell. We will not invent a 6:35 score.
What this means for you
If you needed the East, that file exists. If you needed this unused Central box, it is 8–1, 21,354, and Detroit done. If you needed Monday night, wait.
Bottom line: 8–1. Tigers out. 21,354. Not 4–2. Not a live 6:35.
