Arozarena Blasts White Sox, Tigers Take Game 3, 7-3
The Detroit Tigers have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading Chicago White Sox, winning, 7-3, at Guaranteed Rate Field. Tigers left fielder Randy Arozarena was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The win cuts the deficit facing the Tigers to 2-1 in the best-of-5 Division Series.

An inflection point occurred with one out in the top of the second. That's when Tigers shortstop Matt McLain hit a changeup from Charlie Morton for a 2-run home run. Just like that, Detroit was up, 2-1.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said McLain.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Guaranteed Rate Field in Chicago.
