Tigers pitcher Troy Melton twirled a one-hit, six-strikeout gem over five innings. Melton set the tone from the start and struck out the first batter he faced — White Sox designated hitter Kyle Teel — on a well-located fastball.

The one baserunner trend continued in the fifth with a two-out walk to Colt Keith, but as with the previous innings, no runs scored. The White Sox finally got a baserunner in the home half with a leadoff double by Luis Robert Jr. No runs scored.
