Every member of the Cleveland starting lineup had at least two RBI except Asdrubal Cabrera, who did not drive in a run but scored three times while going 3-for-7.

After falling behind by five in the first, the Indians quickly tied it with a five-run second -- Drew Stubbs driving in two with a single and Jason Kipnis providing a two-run double.

Cleveland pounded the White Sox for six more runs in the fourth, two of them coming home on Raburn's single. Raburn also had a two-run homer in the seventh.

The teams combined for 34 hits off 12 pitchers.

Cleveland starter Trevor Bauer did not make it out of the first inning and the win went to the man who relieved him, Matt Albers.
