White Sox Edge Cleveland

Brian Goodwin homered with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Chicago White Sox a 2-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday.

 

Goodwin hit a 3-1 pitch from Nick Wittgren (2-4) over the wall in right for his sixth home run of the season.

 

Liam Hendriks (5-2) allowed just one hit in the ninth to complete a scoreless six-inning stint by the Chicago bullpen. Reynaldo Lopez allowed one hit in three innings followed by Aaron Bummer and Craig Kimbrel, who each worked a hitless inning.

 

Chicago won two of three in the series to extend its AL Central lead to nine games.

 

Myles Straw, who was acquired just before Friday's trade deadline, homered for the Indians.

 

Cal Quantrill gave up one unearned run on three hits and four walks over six innings. He struck out six.

 

Dylan Cease (7-6, 4.14 ERA) starts the opener of a three-game series against Kansas City on Tuesday night. LHP Kris Bubic (3-4, 4.58) pitches for the Royals.
