The White Sox and Tigers went back and forth in a wild game, but things got strange in the seventh inning. With the Sox trailing by one, Jose Abreu crushed a three-run homer to give Chicago a 12-10 lead. The problem came when Tim Anderson, standing on first base, got too close to Abreu while they were running the bases. Anderson ended up passing Abreu before they touched home, which by rule makes Abreu out. So instead of a three-run shot, it became a two-run single with one out, and Abreu’s homer didn’t count.
The Tigers caught it right away and pointed it out. The umpires reviewed the play and confirmed the out. Abreu still gave the Sox the lead, but lost his home run. Anderson looked confused, saying he thought he was told to run, then stopped. Abreu stayed calm and tried to cheer him up, but the dugout was frustrated. The moment shifted momentum, but Anderson made up for it later. He walked it off with a hit in the ninth to give the White Sox the win, managing to erase his earlier mistake.
