Joe Crede hit the tie-breaking grand slam in a five-run seventh inning as the Chicago White Sox won their home opener 7-4 over Minnesota.

Coming off a weekend sweep at Detroit, the White sox have won five straight for the first time since August 10th-14th of 2006.

Crede is off to a great start, batting .393 with 10 RBIs.

Javier Vazquez is 1-and-1 after giving up three runs and seven hits over seven innings with eight strikeouts. The loss went to Matt Guerrier.

White Sox skipper Ozzie Guillen was ejected for arguing a called strike. He went nose-to-nose with umpire Phil Cuzzi for several minutes as the crowd chanted "Ozzie! Ozzie!"
