Joe Crede and Paul Konerko each hit grand slams to back Javier Vazquez's strong start, and the White Sox pounded the struggling Detroit Tigers 11-0 on Sunday. Konerko's homer came in the third off Kenny Rogers and Crede's grand slam, his second this season, came in the fifth against Zach Miner as the White Sox won for the fifth time in six games over Detroit, the preseason favorite to win Major League Baseball's Americna League Central Division. Vazquez (2-1) won his second straight start, scattering five hits in seven innings while striking out nine without a walk. Royals 5, Twins 1: In Kansas City, Missouri, Brian Bannister threw his second career complete game and outpitched Francisco Liriano, who was making his first start since 2006, to help end a three-game skid. Liriano, a MLB All-Star as a rookie in 2006, gave up six hits, walked five and struck out four in his first major league appearance since undergoing surgery 17 months ago. The big left-hander went 4 2-3 innings and gave up four runs. He threw 90 pitches, 51 for strikes. Indians 7, Athletics 1: In Cleveland, Cliff Lee's quick and efficient pitching in the wind and cold helped the Indians end Oakland's five-game winning streak. After a 48-minute delay at the start, Lee (2-0) limited the A's one run and two hits over eight innings. He struck out eight without a walk as a wind-whipped mix of snow and rain fell throughout.

Maddux (2-0) threw 68 pitches over five innings, allowing two hits and a walk while striking out two. The four-time Cy Young winner has made nine of his 35 career starts against the Dodgers in April, going 8-0 with a 1.11 ERA in that month. Nationals 5, Braves 4: In Washington, Atlanta starter Tom Glavine left with an injury before recording an out, and the Washington Nationals ended their nine-game losing streak. Glavine (0-1) matched the shortest start of his 22-season, 303-win career, departing with a strained right hamstring after letting all four batters he faced reach base. After being staked to a 5-0 lead, Washington starter Tim Redding (2-1) and five relievers did just enough to protect it and end the Nationals' longest losing streak since the franchise moved to the nation's capital. Brewers 9, Mets 7: In New York, Gabe Kapler, who managed in the Red Sox organization last season, homered for the second straight day, doubled twice and drove in three runs to help Milwaukee beat the Mets. Corey Hart had a career-high four hits and Rickie Weeks homered off Jorge Sosa (1-1) and scored three runs for the Brewers, who won two of three in the weekend series. Other results: Astros 5, Marlins 1, Pirates 9, Reds 1, Cubs 6, Phillies 5, 10 innings, Giants 7, Cardinals 4, Rockies 13, Diamondbacks 5. __
