Danks had allowed three runs over his last 14 innings pitched. But seven of the first nine Cleveland hitters reached base against the southpaw, with five hits among those seven. Over the last three games, White Sox starters Danks, Carlos Rodon and Jose Quintana have thrown a total of 317 pitches but just 174 for strikes.
Mike Aviles had four hits for the Indians, including a first-inning homer.
