Danks plays with fire again, and gets burned by Tigers
Posted June 06, 2015 1:00 am
In his last start, at Houston on May 31, John Danks wiggled out of one jam after another and became the first major-league pitcher to throw a complete game shutout while allowing 10 or more hits since the Twins' Carlos Silva in 2004.
Danks returned to the mound against the Tigers Saturday night and played with fire again.
This time, the White Sox' starter got burned.
Danks pitched out of trouble in the first, third and fourth innings while clinging to a 1-0 lead.
In the fifth, Detroit got to the left-hander while scoring 5 runs on 7 hits.
The Tigers beat the Sox 7-1.
Alexei Ramirez's RBI double in the third inning off Detroit starter David Price was the extent of the White Sox' offense.
