Home Field Advantage: Arozarena, Detroit Open Division Series with Win
The Detroit Tigers started the Division Series in style today, downing the visiting Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park by a score of 11-3 to grab an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-5 series. Tigers right fielder Randy Arozarena went 3 for 5 with a triple and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3.

Miguel Rojas dealt the White Sox a blow in the bottom of the second. Batting with the bases loaded and Detroit leading 1-0, Rojas, who finished 3rd in the NL in hits with 183 in 2021, hit a 0-1 slider for a run-scoring single.

"I like easy wins," Rojas told the Detroit Daily News. "And easy wins in the playoffs are even better."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Comerica Park in Detroit.
