The White Sox completed their weekend series sweep over the Detroit Tigers by destroying the Tigers at Comerica Park by a score of 13-2.  Sending the Tigers to their sixth straight loss with balance between offense and defense really showed some encouraging signs by the Sox ball club.  Leading the way for the Sox was Joe Crede who went four for five and had three RBIs and Nick Swisher who added two hits with two RBIs.  Pounding Tiger pitcher Justin Verlander for nine runs, which only four of them were earned was a big step in the right direction for the Sox batting line up.  Mark Buehrle pitched a great game against a struggling Tiger team and went seven innings giving up seven hits and only one earned run.  A huge divisional sweep by the Sox is a great way to start their season off.  Up next is another divisional foe in the form of the Minnesota Twins.  Hopefully the Sox can keep rolling and take down the Twins in their home opener for the South Side Sluggers.
