Chris Bassitt pitched into the eighth inning for his first major league win, and the Chicago White Sox slowed Detroit's chase of the AL Central title with a 2-0 victory over the Tigers on Monday night. Detroit is one game ahead of the second-place Royals, who beat Cleveland 2-0 in their regularly scheduled game.

The loss assured Detroit would start a division series on the road, even if it wins the AL Central.
