With one out and runners on first and second,
Nick Williams rolled a fielder's choice grounder to Chang, who
elected to try to start a double play. The throw to second base
caromed off the helmet of Chicago's Yasmani Grandal, however,
caroming away and allowing Madrigal to score.
Codi Heuer (1-0) was the winner in relief, striking out four in
2 1/3 scoreless innings, both career highs. Heuer allowed one
hit while lowering his ERA to 1.35.
Emmanuel Clase (1-1) took the loss, allowing one run (unearned)
on one hit with one walk in one-third of an inning.
After hitting Franmil Reyes with a pitch to open the second,
Chicago's Dallas Keuchel allowed a home run to Eddie Rosario as
Cleveland grabbed a 2-0 lead.
Keuchel, whose spot in the rotation was moved up by two days to
start in place of fellow lefty Carlos Rodon -- scratched two
hours before game time with an upset stomach -- settled in after
that. Beginning by inducing Amed Rosario on a groundout to third
base following the Eddie Rosario home run, Keuchel retired 12
consecutive Indians batters, including two by strikeout.
Things threatened to unravel in the Cleveland sixth, as the
Indians loaded the bases with no outs on two walks and a single
to chase Keuchel. Reliever Evan Marshall retired all three
batters he faced, but the second out came on a sacrifice fly by
Reyes to tie the game at 3.
Chicago appeared primed to answer immediately, but failed to
score after loading the bases with no outs in the bottom of the
sixth. Cal Quantrill escaped unscathed by striking out Yermin
Mercedes and getting Grandal to ground into a double play.
Yoan Moncada had two hits for Chicago, while Jordan Luplow had
two hits for Cleveland.
White Sox right fielder Adam Eaton blasted a three-run home run
in the third inning for a 3-2 lead. Eaton, who homered for the
second straight game, has reached base in each game in which he
has appeared this season.
