The White Sox got swept in Detroit this weekend, but they weren’t just beaten – they were humiliated 21-3 over the three games, getting shut out the last two games and running their current skid to 10 losses in 11 games. Things don’t get any easier with a four-game set on tap in New York against a Yankee team that’s in first in the AL East and has played quite well lately.

On Tuesday, the Rays edged the White Sox 2-1 for their seventh win in the past eight games, but Upton took an 0-for-4, striking out twice with runners in scoring position. He’s now mired in a 2-for-21 skid over the past six games.

Of greater interest, he’s walked just twice in that span after drawing a whopping 10 walks in the first six games of the season. Clearly, pitchers are not being as careful with Bautista as they were to begin the campaign.

One thing that is risk-free is Cabrera’s ability to carry your team. On Tuesday, he racked up his third straight multi-hit game, including a walk-off bases-loaded single in the ninth inning to give the Tigers a much-needed win. Yes, Cabrera’s latest DUI charge has yet to be resolved, but he’s picking up right where he left off last year when he was the runner up in the AL MVP race.
