The Chicago White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers in a must win on Monday afternoon and they will now await the MInnesota Twins for a one game playoff game on Tuesday night. The winner of the White Sox and Twins game will move onto the 2008 playoffs where they will take on the Tampa Bay Rays.

Alexei Ramirez was the mvp of the game on Monday afternoon as he hit a grand slam in the in the sixth inning to break a 2-2 tie. The Sox then added on a couple of more runs in the eighth inning for insurance. Ramirez’s grand slam was his fourth of the year and it set a rookie record for grand slams in a season.

Jermaine Dye and A.J. Pierzynski both had one rbi each as well for the Sox.

Gavin Floyd was the winning pitcher as he tossed six innings. Floyd gave up five hits and two runs while striking out eight batters. Floyd did exactly what the White Sox were hoping for in the must win game. Now the Sox will be hoping for the same from John Danks as he takes the mound on Tuesday night against the Twins.

The game sold out very fast on Ticketmaster this evening so if you want to goto the game you will probably have to buy off of StubHub and then pick up at their office or buy some ticketfast tickets via ebay etc. Do want you need to get to the game however, as the Sox need our support to get another win and advance to the playoffs!
