Game Thread: Tigers (22-35) at White Sox (29-27)

Henderson) For the first time since May 2023, the White Sox will finish a month with a winning record — and they still have three games left to improve upon their total. After taking three of four from the Minnesota Twins at home, the White Sox look to push the lowly Tigers even further into the depths of despair while solidifying their place in the second wild card spot.

class="has-text-align-none">Taking the ball for the White Sox is Erick Fedde which will surely elicit a groan from fans that can be heard in Naperville. Fedde has yet to win a game and currently sports an 0-5 record in 10 starts. It’s been a rough 2026 for Fedde, but an even rougher month of May as he has a 10.13 ERA in four games this month. For those who love diving deeper into the “splits,” Fedde does have a 3.71 ERA at home as opposed to a 7.54 ERA on the road this year, so Guaranteed Rate Field might help him a little bit tonight.

class="has-text-align-none">Toeing the rubber for the Detroit Tigers tonight is Troy Melton. If you haven’t heard of him, you’re likely not alone but the young 25-year old has been impressive since his debut last July. Melton posted a 2.76 ERA across 16 games last year and got the win in his only start this year, on May 24 against the Baltimore Orioles. Melton allowed just two hits in five-plus innings of work and will look to build on that success tonight.
