Cleveland ? Javier Vazquez dominated for six innings, and Paul Konerko hit a three-run homer to help teammate Jim Thome enjoy his return to Cleveland as the Chicago White Sox held off the Indians, 8-6, on Monday night.

Thome was back at Jacobs Field for the first time as a visiting player. The Indians’ career home run leader bolted as a free agent following the 2002 season, signing a six-year, $85 million deal with Philadelphia and leaving behind a trail of broken hearts. Thome went 1-for-5 with an RBI in his first game at the Jake since Sept. 29, 2002. He also struck out twice to the delight of some Cleveland fans.

Vazquez (3-1) allowed five hits and would have blanked the Indians for six innings if left fielder Scott Podsednik hadn’t dropped a two-out fly ball. The error led to Cleveland’s only run off Vazquez.

Konerko connected in the first off Cliff Lee (2-2).
