Chris Perez nearly worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the 10th, but Alex Rios drilled a walk-off grand slam to lift the White Sox over the Indians.
Prior to Rios's heroics, Fausto Carmona and the Tribe bullpen combined to strand 14 Chicago base runners. However, flirting with disaster eventually burned the Indians.
Matt LaPorta's 2-run double and Shelley Duncan's solo homer accounted for Cleveland's lackluster offensive showing against the White Sox.
Jaun Pierre produced the game's key play in the 5th when he unleashed a perfect, 1-hop strike to A.J. Pierzynski to retire LaPorta, who was attempting to score on Kosuke Fukudome's fly ball. If not for that clutch throw, there probably would not have been a 10th inning.
