Crede's Slam Powers ChiSox to 7-4 Win

Posted Apr 8, 08 12:04 AM CDT in Sports    Most Covered

(Newser) – Joe Crede hit a tiebreaking grand slam to cap a five-run seventh inning, and the Chicago White Sox won its home opener 7-4 on Monday over the Minnesota Twins. Coming off a weekend sweep at Detroit, Chicago has won five straight for the first time since Aug. 10-14, 2006.

The White Sox have won six of their last seven home openers. Jermaine Dye tied the score at 3 with a one-out RBI single off Pat Neshek, who had just relieved Matt Guerrier (0-1). A.J. Pierzynski struck out, and Carlos Quentin loaded the bases with a single. Crede drove a 1-0 pitch to the bullpen in left for his fifth slam.
