Tigers 8, Royals 0
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Rookie Justin Verlander pitched a five-hitter for Detroit's second straight shutout and the Royals' 10th straight loss. The 23-year-old right-hander notched his first shutout and first complete game in his ninth major league start. He struck out seven and walked one. It was the Tigers' ninth shutout. Detroit beat Cincinnati 1-0 on Sunday, with Fernando Rodney getting the win in relief. Brandon Inge and Curtis Granderson homered for the Tigers, who have won 10 of their last 11 overall and lead the majors with 17 road wins. After losing 11 in a row in April, the Royals are now the eighth team since 1970 with two double-digit losing streaks in one season.
White Sox 5, Athletics 4, 10 innings
CHICAGO -- Frank Thomas homered twice in his return to Chicago, but the White Sox won when Pablo Ozuna drove in the winning run on a bunt single. Thomas got a standing ovation before his first at-bat and went 3-for-5 with a single for Oakland. A.J. Pierzynski walked against Ron Flores (0-1) with one out in the 10th before Rob Mackowiak -- whose pinch-hit homer in the bottom of the eighth tied the game at 4 -- singled with two outs. Ozuna then pushed a bunt up the first base line, and by the time first baseman Nick Swisher picked up the ball and made an off-target throw, the leadoff hitter had already beaten it out to send Pierzynski home.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
