Rookie Troy Melton allows 1 hit as Tigers beat White Sox 1-0 to win series

  • The Detroit Tigers defeated the Chicago White Sox 1-0 in a series-clinching game on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, in Chicago.
  • The win followed strong pitching from rookie Troy Melton, who was unexpectedly named the starter the night before after recently moving between rotation and bullpen.
  • Melton threw five scoreless innings with 56 pitches, allowed one hit, and struck out six batters while Tigers relievers held the White Sox hitless to secure the shutout.
  • Detroit scored the only run in the sixth inning on Wenceel Prez's bases-loaded sacrifice fly off Martín Pérez, who had recently returned from injury and recorded 3⅓ innings.
  • The victory improved the Tigers' record to 70-52, widened their lead in the AL Central, and set the stage for a four-game matchup in Minnesota starting Thursday.
