CHICAGO, July 1 (UPI) -- Orlando Cabrera's RBI single capped a two-out, two-run rally in the bottom of the 10th Tuesday, lifting the Chicago White Sox over the Cleveland Indians 3-2.

Casey Blake had given the Indians a 2-1 lead in the top of the 10th when he homered off Matt Thornton.

Cleveland closer Joe Borowski (1-3) got Joe Crede to ground out and then struck out Nick Swisher. But Alexei Ramirez homered to tie the score at 2-2. Pinch-hitter Dewayne Wise followed with a single and then stole second before Cabrera's hit.

Ramirez had two RBI in the game for the White Sox, who have won six straight. Adam Russell (1-0) got the final out in the top of the 10th to earn his first big league win.

Kelly Shoppach also homered for Cleveland.
