A day after the Chicago White Sox clinched their first playoff appearance in 12 years, they got some help from their crosstown rivals in pursuit of the American League Central crown.
The Indians, meanwhile, won to pull within five games of the Sox. The teams play a four-game series in Cleveland beginning Monday.
Record: 28-23, 5 games back in the division, 2 games behind the Twins for the second-place playoff spot, 5½ games ahead of the Mariners for a wild-card berth.
