Breaking News: Detroit Tigers head coach just summitted his resignation letter to the management.

After scoring six runs in their previous six games, the Detroit Tigers wasted little time getting on the board Sunday against the Chicago White Sox, scoring five runs in the first inning and four more in the second to take a nine-run lead.

The Tigers rode the abundance of early runs to an 11-2 win over the White Sox — the worst team in baseball — in the finale of the three-game series at Comerica Park, winning their first series since June 3-5 (against the Texas Rangers).

The victory snapped a streak of four series losses in a row.

“It was a really good offensive day for us and continues to demonstrate to us that we’re very capable,” manager A.J. Hinch said, “and we need to be willing to grind out the at-bats like the way we did today. I thought it was awesome.”

Right-hander Reese Olson shut down the White Sox while receiving run support from the Tigers, virtually for the first time all season.

The Tigers scored nine runs with him on the mound in Sunday’s game after averaging 1.5 runs with him on the mound in his previous 14 starts.

“Anytime you can mix in a day where you score double-digit runs, it’s huge for the morale,” Olson said.

The 24-year-old made the run support count, allowing two runs on four hits with zero walks and three strikeouts across 6⅓ innings, throwing 97 pitches.

It was Olson’s second solid outing in a row after a stretch of three bad starts.
