Third to first

• Hahn had one reaction to his team's eighth- and ninth-inning outbursts Tuesday night, scoring 10 runs in total during those frames, while setting season highs in runs (11) and hits (23) for one game and runs (seven), hits (nine) and consecutive hits (seven) in one inning (the eighth).

"Where has this been?" said Hahn with a laugh. "We were joking afterwards, I guess we have been playing possum, just waiting for Detroit. Lying in wait."

Hahn noted that the "guys downstairs" enjoyed it even more than he did watching from the visiting general manager's suite.

• The White Sox scored at least five runs off of Justin Verlander for just the second time over his last 14 outings against the team. The White Sox are 2-12 over their last 14 games against Verlander, compared to an 11-3 mark over the first 14 matchups.
