60-Chisox 3, 07-Tigers 1

"Roy Seivers has rejunevated his career at the expense of the Tigers pitching. 6 homeruns, including two grandslams powered the Pale Hose to a 3-1 series victory over the Tigers. EarlyWynn, Bob Shaw and Billy Pierce shut down the Tigers powerful hitting attack and Shaw threw a game two shutout. The White Sox defense was constantly evident as it seemed that every time the Tigers got something going, Aparicio or Fox would start a crushing double play. The Tigers had a two run head going into the ninth inning of game three when the South Siders broke loose for nine runs off a succession of Tiger relievers starting with Todd Jones. After Game Three, Tiger manager, Tom "Crash" Davis was heard to be muttering something about the Purple Gang and how much a gang land hit might cost. Major League Baseball has decided that it was the ravings of a lunatic and will not investigate. Although Sievers hit a homer off Kenny Rogers in his first at bat in Game 4, Zach Miner earned the Tiger win in relief on the strength of a Marcus Thames seventh inning homer, with relief help from Jones. Davis was seen in the Tiger clubhouse afterwards drinking a Sam Adams Cherry Wheat and moaning about the lack of arms on the Tiger pitching staff."
