The game also featured the ejections of Chicago Manager Ozzie Guillen in the second inning during an argument over a balk call and starting pitcher Mark Buehrle, who dropped his glove in apparent protest of another balk call, in the third.

The Chicago offense got to Cleveland starter Jack Westbrook (2-3) for five runs on six hits over seven innings.

Teahen's 2-run single finished a 3-run rally in the fourth but the Indians got one run back in the bottom of the inning on Jhonny Peralta's sacrifice fly. Kotsay made the score 5-1 in the sixth with his fifth home run of the year.

Tony Pena (1-1) pitched four innings of 2-hit relief for the win.
