The Point

The point isn’t Tarik Skubal yelling at Mike “Magic Wand” Vasil in the fifth inning for possibly stealing signs. The point is Skubal struck out Colson Montgomery with the bases loaded in a 2-2 game. The White Sox needed runs, only to lose 4-3 after a misguided dive by centerfielder Tristan Peters in the sixth on a ball that scored two runs. Tigers 4 Sox 3. The second point worth noting is that Montgomery struck out three times in three at-bats, with a walk. As to two straight games with an “opener,” and a third planned for today, make of that as you will.
