Detroit met the White Sox under bright, sunny skiesto vie for a win on the Third of July.And when the ball finally settled to make the last out,The Tigers had triumphed, an 11-5 rout.Chicago sent veteran Keuchel to pitchFor their fiftieth win and a series to clinch.Detroit answered back with their own lefty SkubalHaving carved through the Astros, efficient and brutal.But this time he couldn’t avoid early trouble.Tim Anderson smoked the first pitch, hit a doubleA line drive to center for Akil BaddooThen a pair of sharp singles Gregory Soto Jersey, and Detroit was down two.Down in the fourth, in need of a heroTo rescue the box score from another dull zero.First Schoop took a walk, then Miguel on four straightTo put two men on with Eric Haase at the plate.It was then, gentle reader, our hero would riseBut not with a bat; in the outfield! Surprise!Playing center, a vision we’re grateful to seeThe White Sox speedster known as Hamilton, B.Haase whiffed at a changeup, then lined up a sinkerToward Hamilton, a single, not much of a thinker Miguel Cabrera Jersey.But Bill left his feet, made a terrible call -The ball bounced right by him, all the way to the wall!Schoop cantered home, Cabrera behind him,Haase rounding the bases with a fire inside him.The ball came back in, but the damage was done -Three runs had scored! INSIDE THE PARK HOME RUN!.
