White Sox Bounce Angels 8-2, MLB Scores

Chris Sale said he really hasn't made any changes to his pitching approach. And when asked if his ace did anything differently Monday night, White Sox manager Robin Ventura replied, "Maybe. Maybe not." But the results sure were better.

Sale was back in All-Star form, and Avisail Garcia homered twice to drive in four runs as the Chicago White Sox beat the Los Angeles Angels 8-2.

Tyler Flowers added a solo shot to back Sale (10-7), who rebounded with a gem after allowing 14 earned runs and 18 hits in 10 1/3 innings while losing his previous two outings. The lanky left-hander didn't allow a run -- or more than one baserunner in an inning -- until Johnny Giavotella drove in two with a double in the seventh.

Royals 4, Tigers 0

Johnny Cueto could not have scripted a better introduction to the Kansas City fans. Cueto threw a four-hitter in his home debut as the Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 4-0 on Monday night.

Cueto (1-1) did not allow a runner past second base, struck out eight and walked none. It was his sixth career shutout and second this season.

"The crowd really gave me an extra boost," Cueto said with catching coach Pedro Grifol acting as his interpreter. "This is the most I've felt from a crowd; the intensity is by far the most.
