Cleveland — Juan Uribe hit a three-run homer, Jermaine Dye added a two-run shot off Fausto Carmona (0-1), and the Chicago White Sox beat Cleveland, 6-4, on Friday, spoiling the Indians' 107th home opener, which took seven days to get completed.
Chicago starter Javier Vazquez (2-0) struck out Travis Hafner with the bases loaded to end the fourth.
Just getting the game in was a victory of sorts for the Indians, who haven't been able to stay dry or warm for much of the early season. They had a four-game series against Seattle postponed by the nasty weather. On top of that, the Indians were forced to move a three-game series against the Los Angeles Angels to Milwaukee earlier this week.
The Indians went 3-for-20 with runners in scoring position and stranded 13.
