The Detroit Tigers’ recent play and opponent gives them a chance to get back to .500 for the season when they face the Chicago White Sox on Sunday afternoon at Progressive Field in Chicago.

First pitch is set for 2:10 PM eastern.

The unusual four-game, wraparound series ends on Monday. Detroit (64-66) has already beaten Chicago (31-99) twice in the series, victories Sunday and Monday would allow the Tigers to get back to the .500 mark. That’s no small feat for a team trying to blend being competitive with a youth movement and an eye on the 2025 season.

Detroit is also blending true starters like Tarik Skubal — who won Saturday’s game — with relievers who are serving as openers, such as Sunday’s starter, Beau Brieske.

The 26-year-old right-hander is primarily a reliever but he will make his seventh start and his 32nd appearance of the season on Sunday.

He last pitched against the Chicago Cubs on Monday, where he threw two innings and gave up no runs on one hit. He struck out three.

In this blended role he is 1-1 with a 1.69 ERA in his last seven games, four of which were starts. He’s only pitched 10.2 innings in that span, but he has struck out 15 and walked five while giving up two earned runs. He should give Detroit a good start on Sunday.

The White Sox will counter with 24-year-old right-hander Jonathan Cannon. The rookie is preparing to make his 15th start of the season and carries 2-7 record with a 4.26 ERA into the contest. He also has a save, as he has two additional relief appearances.

In his last start on Monday he gave up five earned runs and eight hits in six innings against San Francisco. He struck out four and walked one. In his last seven games he is 1-5 with a 4.32 ERA.

The Tigers put one of their top players, infielder Javier Báez, on the 10-day injured list on Friday with spine and hip inflammation. It’s not clear how long Báez will be out of the lineup. But it does give the Tigers an opportunity to play more young players as they look to next year.

Recently, the Tigers called up both Trey Sweeney and Jace Jung to man third base and shortstop, respectively, the rest of the season. Detroit is also giving plenty of rope to catcher Dillon Dingler, one of the organization’s higher-ranked prospects who joined the team in late July and is attempting to make his own case for a role next season.

After this series concludes, the Tigers return to Comerica Park on Tuesday to begin a series with the Los Angeles Angels.

MILWAUKEE — Four second-half touchdowns and a safety highlighted Bradley Tech’s stunning comeback in the first week of football in Milwaukee, as they beat Washington 34-22 at Pulaski Stadium Friday night.

Washington’s dominant defense held Bradley Tech to a lone touchdown in the first 24 minutes of action on Friday. That one score came when Bradley Tech tailback Artese Lesuer scored early in the first half.

Washington responded with 22 unanswered points, including a touchdown heave from quarterback Jacob Allen to Jamilion Price for the score.

Bradley Tech looked like a different team after halftime though, and scored twice during the third quarter.

Washington got the ball back, but backed up into their endzone, Bradley Tech forced a safety, tying the game at 22-22 in the fourth quarter.

Tech carried that momentum, with two more scores in the fourth quarter to seal the game 34-22 and get their first win of the year.

Bradley Tech will host Bay View next week, and Washington will be the visitors against Hamilton.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – A 15-year-old girl has died after being shot inside a home Saturday afternoon. 

What we know

According to Minneapolis police, just before 2 p.m., officers responded to a home on the 3400 block of Logan Avenue North on reports of a shooting. At the scene, officers found a 15-year-old girl inside the home with at least one life-threatening gunshot wound.

The girl was taken to the hospital, where she ultimately died, police said. 

Authorities say two adults and two teens were at the home at the time officers arrived. 

What we don’t know

Police did not say what led up to the shooting, but did say they are investigating the circumstances of the incident. 

No arrests have been made, police said. 

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner will release the girl’s identity. 

What they’re saying

“I am deeply concerned by the shooting death of a 15-year-old girl,” said Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara.  “Whether this is a terrible accident highlighting the need for the proper care and storage of guns, or this is somehow connected to the growing violence among teenagers, the loss of a 15-year-old girl is an unacceptable tragedy. Our investigators are working diligently to determine exactly what happened. Together with our law enforcement and community partners, we will continue to do all we can to completely interrupt the number of lives that are forever impacted by guns.”
