CLEVELAND, April 13 (UPI) -- Mark Reynolds cracked a gram slam and drove in a fifth run Saturday, powering the Cleveland Indians over the Chicago White Sox 9-4.

It was the fifth long ball of the season for the Cleveland first baseman.
Nick Swisher and Yan Gomes each added a two-run blast as the Tribe clinched their three-game series against the White Sox.
Zach McAllister (1-1) earned his first victory of the season, controlling Chicago on three runs (only one earned) on five hits through 6 1/3 innings. The right-hander didn't issue a walk and struck out six.
Chisox starter Chris Sale (1-1) was tagged for eight runs on eight hits in 4 1/3 frames.
Alejandro De Aza smacked a two-run homer for the White Sox.
