Detroit, MI (My Sportsbook) - Orlando Cabrera's bases-loaded double highlighted a six-run sixth inning, and the Chicago White Sox went on a 13-2 rout of Detroit, sweeping the three-game set and sending the Tigers to 0-6.
Detroit remains the only team in Major League Baseball without a win.
Nick Swisher homered, drove in two runs and scored a pair for the White Sox, who have won four straight following an 0-2 start. Joe Crede atoned for two errors with a strong showing at the plate. Crede finished 4-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored in the victory, while Carlos Quentin added a three-run triple and ended with four RBI.
The offensive outburst was more than enough for Mark Buehrle (1-0) to work with. The veteran lefty tossed seven strong innings, allowing just two runs -- one earned -- on seven hits for Chicago. He walked a pair, struck out one and rebounded strongly from a forgettable season debut this past Monday against Cleveland when he failed to get out of the second inning.
Magglio Ordonez and Ramon Santiago had two hits apiece for the Tigers, who have been hurt by an underachieving offense thus far. The club has been outscored 39-15 during the skid, and has lost six straight for the first time since dropping eight in a row from September 16-23, 2005.
