CLEVELAND – Just about 12 hours after early blowing an 8-2 lead to the White Sox at Progressive Field, the Indians came out as flat as a pancake, allowing Reynaldo Lopez to do whatever he wanted on the mound during a White Sox 7-1 whitewash of the Tribe on a sunny day at Progressive Field.
Lopeez allowed just one run on one hit, that being a run scoring double to backup catcher Kevin Plawecki in the second inning that at the time cut the Sox lead to 2-1.
Other than that the young Sox starter was about perfect, using his fastball all day long to keep Tribe hitters off balance and walking three in the win.
