Tigers 14, White Sox 4

CHICAGO  (WWJ/AP) - Jhonny Peralta hits a two run shot in the second inning to begin an avalanche of scoring by the Detroit Tigers as they crush the Chicago White Sox 14-4 on Monday.

As heard on 97.1 The Ticket - The Tigers continue the offensive march scoring 14 against the White Sox, winning their 10th straight game. Peralta and Ryan Raburn ignited the Detroit Tigers offense with back-to-back homers in the second inning.

It's the Tigers' first 10-game streak since they won 11 in a row in September 1968 before going on to win the World Series that year.

Raburn finished the game with four hits and three RBIs and Peralta added two hits and three RBIs for the Tigers, who reduced their magic number to six in the AL Central.

Detroit starter Rick Porcello (14-8) coasted to an easy victory. He allowed three runs on six hits in 6 2-3 innings. He was tagged for one of Brent Morel's two home runs.
