In the home half of the eighth, Tribe utility man Michael Martinez led off with an opposite-field single and Jason Kipnis brought him home with a double that split the right-center gap. That gave Cleveland a short-lived 2-1 lead, as closer Cody Allen could not keep Chicago in check in the ninth.

The rally by the White Sox in the ninth allowed lefty Jose Quintana to escape with a no-decision after a solid effort. Over 7 2/3 innings, Quintana allowed two runs on seven hits and finished with six strikeouts and one walk.
Cleveland right-hander Trevor Bauer also took a no-decision after spinning seven strong innings. Bauer was charged with one run on four hits, ending with nine strikeouts and three walks. The lone hiccup came in the third, when Adam Eaton was given a triple on a misplay in right field and later scored on a groundout by Jose Abreu.
