Konerko's eighth-inning blast sends ChiSox to sweep of Tribe

Baseball Betting Lines

09/01/2010 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Paul Konerko hit a three-run homer as part of a four-run eighth inning, as the Chicago White Sox completed a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Indians with a 6-4 win at Progressive Field.

Alex Rios and Alexei Ramirez each clubbed a solo shot for the White Sox, who have won five of seven and moved to within 3 1/2 games of Minnesota, which sits atop the American League Central Division. The Twins host Detroit on Wednesday.

Chicago starter Freddy Garcia left after four innings with a stiff lower back. The veteran righty allowed two runs -- one earned -- on four hits, walked one and struck out two. Tony Pena (4-2) spelled Garcia and allowed two runs -- one earned -- and five hits in three innings, but still picked up the win. Despite walking two in the bottom of the ninth, Chris Sale picked up his first big league save.

Manny Ramirez, making his much-anticipated White Sox debut, singled and was hit by a pitch in four plate appearances while batting fifth in the designated hitter's role. The slugger was officially acquired in a waiver claim from the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier this week.
