Thomas and Ordonez wet back-to-back in the first inning to stake Colon to an early 3-0 lead. The White Sox extended their winning streak to five games and evened their record at 50-50.

Colon had not won June 7, going 0-4 with a 5.86 ERA in his previous seven starts. The hard-throwing righthander breezed through Cleveland's lineup.

Cleveland's Coco Crisp led off the game with a double, then Colon retired 17 in a row before Crisp doubled again in the sixth.

The loss was the seventh in a row for the Indians, who at 41-59, have their worst record after 100 games since 1991 (34-66).
