DETROIT (AP) — Colt Keith and Akil Baddoo homered in a five-run first inning and Riley Greene cleared the fences in a four-run second, lifting the Detroit Tigers to an 11-2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday.

The Tigers scored more runs in two at-bats on Matt Vierling’s leadoff triple and Keith’s two-run homer than in any of the previous six games, and they were just getting warmed up in the series-winning rout.

Baddoo’s two-run homer capped the five-run first inning and Greene followed with a three-run shot in the second to put Detroit ahead 9-0.

“It was a really good offensive day for us and continues to demonstrate to us that we’re very capable,” Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said.

The Tigers chased Jonathan Cannon (1-2) after they opened the second inning with three straight singles, including Keith’s run-scoring, opposite-field line drive. The rookie right hander gave up eight runs — five earned — on seven hits in 42 pitchers over one-plus innings.

After scoring six runs in their previous six games, the Detroit Tigers wasted little time getting on the board Sunday against the Chicago White Sox, scoring five runs in the first inning and four more in the second to take a nine-run lead.

The Tigers rode the abundance of early runs to an 11-2 win over the White Sox — the worst team in baseball — in the finale of the three-game series at Comerica Park, winning their first series since June 3-5 (against the Texas Rangers).

The victory snapped a streak of four series losses in a row.

“It was a really good offensive day for us and continues to demonstrate to us that we’re very capable,” manager A.J. Hinch said, “and we need to be willing to grind out the at-bats like the way we did today. I thought it was awesome.”
