José Abreu, Sox build dugout cabana on hot day in Detroit

It's a hot one in the Motor City.

In fact, it's 93 degrees at Comerica Park, where the White Sox are looking to sweep the Tigers. Take a look at NBC Sports Chicago's pregame weather index:

Many players try to cool off by dousing themselves in water while others tend to soak Gatorade towels and wear them as hats. José Abreu had a better idea.

Abreu, the DH in Wednesday's lineup, used his spare time by building a dugout cabana that features a chair and a Gatorade towel roof to shield the sun. The towel is secured with two clips, a Double Bubble Gum bucket and a Gatorade cooler.

The towel was later seen slipping while Abreu was cooling himself off, but Andrew Vaughn came to rescue one of his "best teammates."

Later, Abreu knocked in Vaughn for the team's fourth run in the third inning. Vaughn high fived his teammates and immediately sat under the dugout cabana.
