CHICAGO -- Paul Konerko hit a three-run homer to help Esteban Loaiza get his second win, and the White Sox beat the Kansas City in Ozzie Guillen's Chicago debut as manager. Guillen got a rousing ovation before the game Tuesday, taking his cap off at home plate and waving to the crowd. The former shortstop spent 13 of his 16 major league seasons with Chicago. Konerko made it 7-4 in the fifth, connecting off Darrell May (0-2) following walks to Frank Thomas and Carlos Lee.
Angels 7, Mariners 5
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Vladimir Guerrero hit a two-run homer, and Jose Guillen doubled in two runs to break a tie in the seventh to help the Angels rally to win their home opener.

Athletics 10, Rangers 9
ARLINGTON, Texas -- Damian Miller had three hits, including a three-run homer, to help Oakland overcome a poor start by Barry Zito. While Zito (1-1) never trailed in his five innings, he squandered a 6-0 lead and the Athletics led by only a run before Miller's first homer made it 10-6 in the fourth. Miller was 3-for-4 with a walk and a double. Jermaine Dye had a homer and an RBI double.
Blue Jays 7, Tigers 5
