Thome's 3-run HR in 8th lifts White Sox (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Jim Thome hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning and the Chicago White Sox rallied past the Kansas City Royals 4-2 in a season opener delayed a day because of bad weather. Thome hit his 542nd career home run, connecting with two outs off Royals newcomer Kyle Farnsworth. Thome homered twice in last year's opener off CC Sabathia in a loss to Cleveland.
