Lonnie Chisenhall belted a pair of 2-run homers into the right field bleachers at U.S. Cellular Field, and the Indians halted a frustrating, 4-game losing streak.
Facing Mark Buehrle, a good, left-handed pitcher, Chisenhall, who is also a lefty, had a performance he will never forget. In the top of the 2nd, Chisenhall drilled a 1st pitch fastball from Buehrle over the fence, giving the Tribe a 2-0 advantage. Then, in the 6th, Chisenhall made Buehrle pay for a hanging curveball.
Chisenhall's 2nd bomb was merely the beginning of a 2-out rally. Lou Marson followed with a single and a stolen base before Trevor Crowe worked a walk. Marson crossed home plate via Ezequiel Carrera's RBI single, and both Crowe and Carrera scored courtesy of Kosuke Fukudome's single.
Carrera lated added a RBI double as the Tribe steamrolled the White Sox.
The overabundance of offensive support helped Jeanmar Gomez notch his 3rd victory. Gomez held the Chicago attack to 2 runs in 6 innings while striking out 3.
Buehrle's tough night, in which he allowed 7 tallies, ended with a "L" next to his name in the box score.
