Game Summary (may have spoilers)
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
On the chilly evening of April 15, 1983, at Comiskey Park I, the Detroit Tigers faced the Chicago White Sox in a game that showcased a strong pitching duel, with Milt Wilcox taking the mound for Detroit and LaMarr Hoyt starting for Chicago. Early in the 1983 season, both teams were looking to set a competitive tone, with Detroit aiming to bounce back from a middling performance the previous year and Chicago seeking to build on recent improvements. The White Sox, under manager Tony La Russa, were especially eager to capitalize on their developing core of talented players, while the Tigers, managed by Sparky Anderson, were focusing on harnessing their potent lineup for a push towards the top of the American League East standings.

The game unfolded as a display of pitching prowess and timely hitting by Detroit. Milt Wilcox pitched masterfully, silencing the White Sox bats throughout the evening. The Tigers' offense provided ample support, breaking through in the second inning with key hits including a triple by Glenn Wilson that drove in a run, followed by a single from Chet Lemon that added another. Detroit's lineup continued to produce as the game progressed, with another pair of runs in the sixth highlighted by another RBI from Lemon. The Tigers solidified their lead with two more runs in the eighth inning, capitalizing on Chicago's fielding errors and a wild pitch that allowed Wilson to score from third.

The Detroit Tigers clinched a decisive 6-0 victory, with Milt Wilcox nearly achieving a perfect game, allowing just one hit in a complete game effort.
