Snapping a five-game losing streak, the Indians pounded the White Sox, 10-1, as Johnny Grubb drove in five runs with a bases-loaded double and pair of singles. A sacrifice fly by Andre Thornton and single by Grubb accounted for a pair of tallies in the first inning and Grubb plated three more in the fourth when center fielder Tom Spencer lost his fly ball in the sun. Grubb singled home Buddy Bell in the two-run sixth. [The Sporting News]
