Asdrubal Cabrera, Lonnie Chisenhall and Swisher each had two hits
while Carlos Santana added an RBI for the Indians, who improved to
.500 at 46-46. Corey Kluber (9-6) got the bad news about missing out
on an All-Star spot on Thursday but picked up a win one day later,
allowing four runs on eight hits in six innings while striking out
five.
Hector Noesi (3-7) started for the White Sox and was reached for six
runs on seven hits and four walks while squandering three different
leads. Adam Dunn homered while Adam Eaton and Adrian Nieto each
doubled in a run for Chicago.
The White Sox jumped on top with two runs in the second but Murphy
came up with Swisher on in the bottom of the inning and belted his
sixth home run out to right-center to tie it. Eaton’s double put
Chicago back up in the fourth but Noesi again immediately
surrendered the lead, walking Chris Dickerson with the bases loaded
and two out.

Dunn’s solo blast in the fifth put the White Sox on top but Noesi
faltered once more in the bottom of the frame. Chisenhall’s two-out
RBI single tied it before Swisher sent an 0-1 slider over the wall
in straightaway center to put the Indians on top for good.
