Tigers' 5-Run Eighth Seals Dramatic Comeback Win
19 Sep
Summary
- Tigers staged a five-run comeback in the eighth inning to win 11-8.
- Hao-Yu Lee and Riley Greene hit home runs to fuel the offense.
- Pitchers Jackson Jobe and Sean Burke are set to start Game 3.
The Detroit Tigers achieved a remarkable 11-8 comeback victory against the Chicago White Sox on Friday, tying their weekend series. The Tigers rallied with a five-run eighth inning, propelled by home runs from Hao-Yu Lee and Riley Greene. The bullpen was instrumental, allowing just two earned runs throughout the game.
Game 3 of the series will feature a pitching duel between Detroit's RHP Jackson Jobe and Chicago's RHP Sean Burke. Jobe, coming off his best outing of the 2026 season against the Colorado Rockies, seeks to replicate that success. He previously faced the White Sox this summer with less favorable results.
Sean Burke of the White Sox is slated to start for the opposing team. Burke has had mixed results against the Tigers this season and is looking to rebound after a short outing in his last start. His recent relief appearance, however, showed resilience, earning him a win.
