Back from suspension, Anderson helps White Sox rout Tigers

Tim Anderson swung right back into action after serving a suspension stemming from an incident last season, hitting two doubles and a single as the Chicago White Sox routed the Detroit Tigers 10-1 on Sunday.

 

Andrew Vaughn homered and drove in four runs for the White Sox, who won twice in the season-opening three-game series.

 

White Sox starter Michael Kopech allowed one run on two hits and two walks in four innings, striking out three.

 

Kyle Crick (1-0) pitched a hitless fifth.

 

Tariq Skubal (0-1) gave up five runs on seven hits in four innings.

 

The White Sox took a 2-0 lead in the first off Skubal. After Anderson doubled, Luis Robert singled and stole second. Jose Abreu had an RBI groundout and Eloy Jimenez followed with a sacrifice fly.

 

The Tigers got a run back in the second on Victor Reyes' triple. Abreu doubled home Robert to make it 3-1 in the third and Josh Harrison added an RBI single later in the inning.

 

Shortstop Javier Baez's throwing error set up Danny Mendick's RBI double in the Chicago fourth.

 

The White Sox added four runs off rookie Elvin Rodriguez in the seventh. Jimenez hit an RBI single and Vaughn followed with a three-run homer.

 

Vaughn singled home another run in the ninth. The Tigers had no hits and two walks in the final seven innings.
