DETROIT – Max Kepler, Miguel Sano and Robbie Grossman homered Thursday, and the Minnesota Twins took advantage of an uncharacteristically wild outing by Jordan Zimmermann in an 11-5 rout of the Detroit Tigers.

Zimmermann (1-1) allowed five runs and four hits in 42/3 innings, walking a career-high five. Anibal Sanchez was even worse for the Tigers in relief, allowing six runs in 11/3 innings and letting two of Zimmermann’s runners score on Kepler’s three-run homer in the fifth.

Grossman hit a two-run shot in the third, and Sano connected for a three-run homer in the sixth.

Phil Hughes (2-0) allowed four runs and five hits in 52/3 innings. Justin Haley, a former Portland Sea Dog, worked the final 31/3 innings to earn his first career save, striking out six.

RANGERS 8, ANGELS 3: Yu Darvish pitched seven scoreless innings and Carlos Gomez hit a leadoff homer as Texas won at Anaheim, California.

Nomar Mazara also homered and Robinson Chirinos drove in three runs for the Rangers, who took 2 of 3 from their AL West rivals.

WHITE SOX 10, INDIANS 4: Tim Anderson homered on the game’s first pitch, Matt Davidson added a three-run shot in a five-run first inning and Chicago won at Cleveland.
