CLEVELAND — Adam Eaton hit a two-run home run during a three-run eighth inning as the Chicago White Sox beat the Cleveland Indians 8-6 in extra innings in Game 1 of a doubleheader Monday at Progressive Field.
After the score was tied at 5 at the end of the regulation seven innings for doubleheaders, Billy Hamilton scored on a sacrifice fly by José Abreu to give the Sox a 6-5 lead in the eighth.
Eaton, who missed the four-game series against the Baltimore Orioles while recovering from right hamstring tightness, followed a Yermín Mercedes walk with his fifth home run of the season against reliever James Karinchak.
