Pierre hit a two-run, two-out single and came around on a double by Ramirez that made it 5-1.
That was enough for Jackson, who had gone 0-2 in five starts since beating Cleveland on Aug. 31. He gave up five hits, including a leadoff homer to Luke Carlin in the fifth and a run-scoring single by Trevor Crowe that chased him with two out in the sixth.
Jackson finished 10-12 overall in Arizona and Chicago.
With no starters available because of a doubleheader on Wednesday, the Indians went with a committee of relievers.
Germano lasted two innings, allowing five runs and seven hits in his first start since May 2008 with San Diego.

"There are certain things that I'm not going to talk about right now, but I will say is Bobby Jenks has been good for a long time." ... The White Sox honored longtime organist Nancy Faust with a video tribute after the top of the first. She is retiring after 41 years.
