second installment of a four-game set. 

Adam  Eaton was 2-for-3  with an RBI and three runs scored and Adam Dunn added 
two hits, an RBI and two runs scored for the White Sox, who improved to 4-1 at 
home this season. 

Chris  Sale (3-0)  earned the win after  allowing three runs on six hits while 
fanning five over five innings. 

Asdrubal Cabrera drove in two runs while Nick Swisher, Ryan Raburn and Michael 
Brantley drove in one run apiece for the Indians, losers in three straight. 

Carlos  Carrasco  (0-2) allowed  five runs  on six hits  and three walks while 
striking out five over 4 2/3 innings.

second and third and no outs, Cabrera laced a line drive to left to score Mike 
Aviles and Elliot Johnson. 

Swisher followed with a single to score Cabrera to knot things up at 3-3. 

The White Sox scored  a pair in the home half to take a 5-3 lead. After Eaton 
and  Marcus  Semien worked  back-to-back walks,  Gillaspie singled home Eaton. 
Later in the inning, Dunn walked to load the bases before Dayan Viciedo drew a 
walk to force home Semien. 

Brantley scored on a Gillaspie fielding error in the sixth, but Gillaspie made 
up  for  the gaffe in  the home half  with a two-run double  to left for a 7-4 
edge. 

Cleveland  scored one  more in the seventh when Brantley blooped an RBI single 
to  left to  bring home  Santana, pulling  the Tribe  within two  runs. Alexei 
Ramirez,  however,  scored Dunn  with a  single to shallow  right field in the 
bottom of the frame. 

In the eighth, Dunn drew a bases loaded walk to plate Eaton.
