6 - 5 - 10 at Chicago White Sox W, 3 - 1 21 - 33
The Indians' success against the White Sox this season is bordering on the ridiculous. Against the rest of baseball, the Tribe has a lowly record of 13 - 30, but against the Sox, they are 11 - 3. And Mitch Talbot has won three of those games including this one that gave Cleveland a series victory over their rivals to the west.
The Indians scored all the runs they would need in the fourth inning. Trevor Crowe and Shin - Soo Choo led off with singles, bringing up Austin Kearns. Kearns grounded a single through the left side of the infield that scored Crowe, but Choo was thrown out trying to advance to third. Kearns went to second on the play, and he came around to score thanks to a wild pitch and a balk, both committed by Jake Peavy.
Chicago got their only tally in the bottom of the fourth when Ramon Castro hit a two - out, RBI single.
Choo helped create another run for the Tribe in the eighth as he singled, stole second, and scored on Russell Branyan's base - hit.
Talbot took care of the rest by pitching seven strong innings and he gave up just the one run to earn his seventh win of the season.
