Kansas City, Mo. ? Facing one of his favorite pitchers in one of his favorite parks, Magglio Ordonez had every reason to expect a banner day.

Nobody could foresee the way the rest of Chicago’s bats would also jump to life, however, in a 14-0 drubbing of Kansas City on Saturday.

“Sooner or later I have to start hitting,” said Ordonez, who was 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBIs in Chicago’s biggest shutout win since a 17-0 victory over Cleveland in 1987.

“I’m feeling good. My rhythm is back,” said Ordonez, who also scored four runs.

Ordonez, who has 27 RBIs in 26 games in Kauffman Stadium, never seems to lose his rhythm against Chad Durbin (0-1). He’s 12-for-17 lifetime against Durbin with 11 RBIs.

“I don’t know  sometimes you face a pitcher, you just get pitches to hit and get good swings,” he said.

Paul Konerko also drove in three runs and Mark Buehrle (2-0) went six shutout innings and raised his career record to 5-0 against Kansas City. The Royals were handed their worst shutout loss since falling 17-0 to Detroit in 1991.

Sandy Alomar went 3-for-4 with a homer and two RBIs and Tony Graffanino and Carlos Lee added two RBIs apiece for the White Sox, who had lost three straight.

Miguel Ascencio had a horrible major league debut for the Royals. Starting the eighth with his team trailing 9-0, the 21-year-old right-hander threw 16 straight balls and not a single strike, forcing in a run when he walked Ordonez.

“He was trying to throw the ball 3,000 mph,” Royals manager Tony Muser said. “The kid was extremely nervous.”

Ascencio missed all over the place  high, low, inside, outside. Only a couple of pitches came even near the plate. But he denied he had butterflies.

“I am ready,” he said. “I was overthrowing. It’s not the way I pitch.”

Even the White Sox were starting to wince for him.

“We couldn’t believe it was happening,” Buehrle said. “We were actually feeling sorry for the guy even though he was walking our guys and we were scoring runs. You never want to see a guy do that bad.”

After walking his fourth straight batter, Ascencio was relieved by Cory Bailey, who drew sarcastic cheers when he finally threw a strike on a 3-0 pitch to the next hitter, Konerko.

But Konerko walked on the next pitch anyway, making it 11-0 and then Graffanino hit a two-run single and Royce Clayton hit a sacrifice fly. The White Sox sent 10 men to the plate in the inning but had only three official at-bats.

“I’ve never seen that before,” Chicago manager Jerry Manuel said.

Buehrle, who has both of Chicago’s wins this season, allowed five hits and struck out four. In nine career appearances against the Royals, the 23-year-old left-hander has a 2.18 ERA in 41 1/3 innings.

Durbin (0-1) allowed four runs in the first inning and wound up yielding seven runs and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings.

Ordonez had an RBI single in the first and led off the third with his first homer. Konerko had a two-run double in the first and scored on Lee’s RBI single.

Alomar hit his first home run leading off the fourth and had an RBI single in the seventh. In the fifth, Jose Valentin had an RBI double and Lee a run-scoring single.

Notes: Frank Thomas popped out to first baseman Dave McCarty his first three at-bats and reached on a pop single into shallow right on his fourth. … The victory enabled the White Sox to avoid a repeat of last year’s 1-4 start. … Buehrle is 15-3 in his career on the road. … Kenny Lofton made a fine running catch of Brandon Berger’s sinking liner into shallow center in the seventh. … Reliever Jeremy Affeldt also made his major league debut for the Royals, going two innings and allowing two hits and one run.
