White Sox pitcher Chris Sale finds himself suspended after he reportedly cut up the team's throwback uniforms. The All-Star left-hander had been suspended five days for insubordination and destroying team equipment. Sale was scratched from Saturday's start and sent home after he expressed displeasure with having to wear 1976 replica uniforms.
The White Sox notched a pair of walk-off wins over the Tigers. Chicago clipped Detroit, 5-4, in the completion of Saturday's suspended game. The Sox then went on to down the Tigers, 4-3, in Sunday's regularly-scheduled game.

Joe Nathan picked up his first win and Hector Rondon posted his 18th save
