Chicago won its fourth straight contest to move
one game behind Cleveland for second place in the American
League Central. Jimenez had two RBIs and Abreu had three RBIs.
The White Sox collected 15 hits to send the Indians to their
eighth loss in the past 12 games.
The White Sox finally solved Cleveland right-hander Carlos
Carrasco (4-6), who entered the game with two victories and 12
scoreless innings against Chicago in two previous May starts
against them. Jimenez opened the scoring with a two-run double
in the second before Cleveland's Carlos Santana answered with a
two-run single in the top of the third.
Alonso's home run in the bottom half gave the White Sox the lead
for good. Carrasco worked 6 1/3 innings, allowing six runs on 10
hits with one walk and seven strikeouts.
Chicago's early run support was enough to back left-hander Manny
Banuelos to a victory. Banuelos (3-4) scattered three runs on
five hits in 5 1/3 innings while walking three and striking out
three.
Relievers Evan Marshall and Aaron Bummer followed Banuelos with
expert relief before Cleveland rallied for a ninth-inning run
against Jace Fry. Marshall pitched 1 2/3 perfect innings and
remains unscored upon in 10 appearances over 9 2/3 innings this
season.
Indians right fielder Jordan Luplow hit a solo home run in the
sixth to draw Cleveland to within 5-3. It marked Luplow's fourth
round-tripper against Banuelos this season. Overall, five of his
seven homers have come against Chicago pitching.
Jason Kipnis had two hits for Cleveland. Alonso, Yoan Moncada
and Yolmer Sanchez added two-hit games for the White Sox.
