CHICAGO -- Detroit manager Brad Ausmus glanced at the stadium scoreboard with
his team ahead and saw Baltimore had lost.

series against the Orioles tied for the final AL wild-card spot.Then Shane
Greene and the bullpen faltered and Ausmus had to settle for what he called a
mediocre road trip.Avisail Garcia hit a go-ahead single against his former team
in a four-run eighth inning and the Chicago White Sox beat Detroit 7-4 on
Wednesday to keep the Tigers a game behind the Orioles.It could be worse, .500
isnt awful, Ausmus said of their trip. Would have been nice to take this one
today and take four out of six. But well go 3-3 and weve got a big series with
Baltimore coming up.Jose Abreu led off the eighth with a single for his third
hit and scored on Justin Morneaus double off Greene (3-4). After Todd Frazier
grounded out, Garcia singled to right-center.I left some balls over the plate
and they hit all of them, Greene said. This one is on me, and I wont let it
happen again.Tyler Saladino and Adam Eaton added RBI singles before the Tigers
finally got out of the inning after using three pitchers.Thats the thing about
the back of the bullpen, Ausmus said, when they have an off day you generally
lose.Chris Beck (2-1) got four outs in relief before David Robertson made it
interesting in the ninth.J.D. Martinez walked and Justin Upton singled to before
Robertson, who has seven blown saves, retired the next three batters for his
35th save.The start was delayed 40 minutes for a threat of thunderstorms that
never arrived on a steamy day with the heat index approaching 100 degrees.Upton
hit an early three-run homer and Jose Iglesias had an RBI single in the seventh
that put Detroit ahead 4-3.In what could be his last start in the Tigers
rotation, Anibal Sanchez allowed three runs and eight hits over five innings.
Jordan Zimmermanns return from injury could move him to the bullpen.White Sox
starter Jose Quintana struck out Victor Martinez and Upton to start the seventh,
but then gave up a walk and two hits before being lifted after his 116th pitch.
He allowed four runs and eight hits and struck out seven.Tough to win when I
gave up the homer and tried to keep the score close, Quintana said. Everybody
did a great job today to come back.The Tigers lost their second straight to
Chicago after an 11-3 stretch got them into playoff contention.Now they return
home for their most important series of the season.Its probably a little ironic
that were facing Baltimore in September, with them not in the division, Ausmus
said. I guess were fortuitous, depending on your outlook.Both teams are trying
to clinch a playoff spot and theyre essentially fighting for the same one, he
said.TRAINERS ROOMTigers: 2B Ian Kinsler applied glue to his injured fingernail
and returned earlier than Ausmus expected. Kinsler went 1 for 4 and was picked
off first. . DH Victor Martinez, who has had surgery on both knees, stayed in
despite limping off after he was thrown out at second base in the fourth. Hes
always going to have issues with the knees, Ausmus said. He just tweaked it a
little bit on the slide.White Sox: RHP James Shields (back) threw a bullpen
session. He hopes to start Saturday.TIGERS TORMENTERGarcia, signed by the Tigers
as an amateur free agent in 2007, spent parts of two seasons with Detroit before
being traded to the White Sox in 2013. Garcia has 36 RBI against Detroit, his
most vs. any opponent.CASTELLANOS UPDATETigers 3B Nick Castellanos, on the
disabled list since Aug. 7 with a broken left hand, plans to start swinging a
regular bat this week. He intends to return this season.Its getting through as
much discomfort as I can and progressing so when my bone is healed, Im ready to
play, Castellanos said.UP NEXTTigers: RHP Michael Fulmer (10-6, 2.77 ERA) is set
to start the opener Friday night against Baltimore RHP Kevin Gausman (7-10,
3.58).White Sox: The 10-game homestand continues Friday night with LHP Carlos
Rodon (6-8, 3.90) facing Kansas City RHP Yordano Ventura (10-9, 4.22).

Sale . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this
way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is
a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away
many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of
their season.

back for Sean Bergenheim.

had already blown a double-digit lead, fans were hitting the exits, and a long
seven-game road trip waited at the end. COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Torrance Gibsons
once-promising, turbulent career at Ohio State appears to be over already.After
being suspended for the fall semester, the former five-star recruit signed a
junior college letter of intent with Mississippi Gulf Coast on Tuesday,
signaling that he wont be returning to the Buckeyes.The university had suspended
Gibson in August for a violation of the student code of conduct, and at the time
football coach Urban Meyer publicly disagreed with the discipline.Ohio State
declined to comment on Gibsons future.We are looking forward to having Torrance
join our football program, Mississippi Gulf Coast coach Chad Huff said in a
statement. We are confident in his abilities on the field and his character off
the field, and we expect him to contribute to our team and the Gulf Coast
community.Ohio State also had great expectations for Gibson when he signed after
a high-profile recruitment, first as a potential dual-threat quarterback and
then as a potentially game-changing wide receiver.Thanks to a logjam of passers
on the depth chart and his dynamic athleticism, Gibson asked for the opportunity
to switch to wide receiver after arriving on campus and looked capable of making
an impact there with his 6-foot-4 frame.Butt the transition did not go smoothly,
on or off the field for the Florida native.

Clearance. Gibson never stepped on the field as a true freshman as
he struggled to find consistency with his new responsibilities as a wideout. He
was also suspended for a game during his redshirt season.The hype that
surrounded his recruitment was renewed during practices in April when Gibson
capped off a productive month with six catches for 50 yards and a pair of
touchdowns in the spring game. But again, that didnt last long.Ohio State
announced Gibsons semester-long suspension shortly before the season opener.It
was not from the athletic department or football, Meyer said at the time. I
disagree with it.Meyer didnt provide any details then on what transpired and
what led him to oppose the discipline. Ohio State has still not commented on the
nature of the violation.But nearing the date when Gibson could re-enroll as
originally anticipated, it appears the plans have changed.As far as his ceiling,
hes as talented as anybody Ive been around, wide receivers coach Zach Smith said
before the season. The ceiling is extremely high.
