Cleveland Indians: Indians Get Winning Record In Extras

     4 - 8 - 10     at Chicago White Sox     W, 5 - 3 (11 innings)     2 - 1

     The last time the Tribe was above the break - even point was on May 18, 2008, until now.  Thanks to a tension - filled 11 inning ballgame, in which the Indians came from behind to win, Cleveland has a baseball team with a winning record.
     It didn't come easy, though, as the White Sox erased an early Tribe lead, given to them by a pair of Grady Sizemore RBIs, with a two - run homer off the bat of Carlos Quentin in the 7th.
     The Indians came right back to tie it on a Jhonny Peralta two - out RBI double up the gap in right - center that scored Travis Hafner all the way from first base.  A juggle by Quentin on the warning track was key as Pronk just did beat the throw home with a slide.
     In the 11th Asdrubal Cabrera played the role of hero by blooping a two - out RBI single into short right, and Sizemore added insurance by plating a tally with a double.
     Chris Perez shut the door on the Sox again, making a winner out of Jensen Lewis, and theTribe.
