    In the middle of the best game of his young career, Chicago White Sox rookie Yoan Moncada still got a short lecture from his manager.

    With two outs in the sixth and the White Sox holding a comfortable seven-run lead over Detroit, the second baseman didn't get to a grounder by JaCoby Jones, keeping the inning alive Thursday. Jose Iglesias followed with an RBI double.

    Manager Rick Renteria immediately made sure Moncada knew he had made a mistake.

    "I told him that he had been too lackadaisical on that ball," Renteria said. "He already knew -- he was disgusted with himself about it."

    That was about the only thing the 22-year-old did wrong on an afternoon when the White Sox got 25 hits and routed the Tigers 17-7. Coming into the game hitting .207, Moncada got four hits, including a homer, walked twice and scored five runs.
