Lucas Giolito pitched six scoreless innings, Eloy Jimenez had a two-run single and the AL Central champion Chicago White Sox defeated the Cleveland Indians 5-2 on Sunday.
Chicago clinched its first Central title since 2008 by beating the Indians in a doubleheader opener Thursday but is 34-33 since the All-Star break.
The White Sox lost two of three from the Indians after wrapping up the division, including a 6-0 defeat on Saturday.
Giolito (11-9) allowed five hits, struck out six and threw 100 pitches. Cleveland advanced only two runners to third base off Giolito, who escaped his biggest threat by retiring Owen Miller with men on first and second to end the sixth.
Harold Ramirez homered off Craig Kimbrel in the eighth, but Liam Hendricks pitched the ninth for his 36th save in 42 chances.
Jimenez's two-run single gave Chicago a 3-0 lead in the third. Yasmani Grandal, who had three hits, and Leury Garcia added RBI singles.
Garcia's double and walks to Jose Abreu and Grandal loaded the bases in the third. Jimenez lined a single to left.
Grandal's single put Chicago ahead in the first. Garcia's single made it 4-0 in the sixth.
Both teams had a scheduled day off for Monday, but rainouts last week changed those plans. The White Sox play in Detroit while the Indians host Kansas City.
