The Gist: Justin Verlander allows 6 earned runs and the Tigers muster only a pair of hits off three White Sox pitchers. Yadda, yadda, yadda. You’ve heard it all before.
The Quote: “Hey, the Diamondbacks have won eight in a row.” — Mike McClary, Phoenix-area resident.
The Stat: 39. The game-time temperature in Chicago…freakin’ [...]
