Final Score: Chicago 10, Detroit 6

Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Carlos Quentin homered twice and Jermaine Dye and Paul Konerko went back-to-back for each's 300th career home run, as the Chicago White Sox pounded out a 10-6 victory over the Detroit Tigers in the opener of a three-game series at Comerica Park. Quentin added a single and a walk in five plate appearances, drove in four runs and scored three times in the victory. Dye contributed three hits and Konerko finished 4-for-5 with four runs batted in and a pair of runs scored for Chicago, which banged out 16 hits. Gavin Floyd (1-1) went the first five innings and notched his first win of the season for the White Sox. Detroit starter Zach Miner (1-1), who surrendered just one run in 5 2/3 innings of a win against Toronto last week, didn't make it out of the fourth inning and took the loss Monday. He was roughed up for eight runs on nine hits and three walks in 3 1/3 innings. Ramon Santiago went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer and Josh Anderson drove in three runs for the Tigers, who were coming off a three-game sweep of Texas this past weekend.
