Cleveland Indians: Choo's Great Game Finishes Off Sweep of Sox

4 - 18 - 10     vs. Chicago White Sox     W, 7 - 4     6 - 6

     A day after delivering a game - winning hit, Shin - Soo Choo continued to pound the White Sox by driving in five runs and smashing a grand slam.   The young right fielder from South Korea added a brilliant catch in the 9th inning to lead the Tribe to their first series sweep of the season.
     Choo stroked a RBI single in the first inning to get the offense rolling, and Mark Grudzielanek finished the frame's scoring with a two - out, two - run single.
    Choo then effectively put the game on ice with his grand slam to right in the second, giving the Indians a 7 - 0 cushion.
     Aside from a turbulent fifth inning, that saw former Cleveland Indian Omar Vizquel hit a RBI double, Fausto Carmona cruised to his second victory as he continues to turn his career around.
     With Chicago rallying in the ninth, Choo put the incing on the proverbial cake with a sensational diving catch to save at least two runs, and quite possibly, the game.
     Chris Perez earned his second save in as many days after his defense bailed him out.
