The Indians posted their sixth straight victory under Dave Garcia as new manager, defeating the White Sox, 10-5. Triples by Andre Thornton and Duane Kuiper paced the Indians to a 3-0 lead before the White Sox picked up a pair, but the Tribe then exploded for seven runs in the eighth inning. Pinch-hitter Ron Pruitt and Mike Hargrove each hit two-run singles, while the other markers in the outburst counted on a pass to Kuiper with the bases loaded, a grounder by Tom Veryzer and single by Rick Manning.
