The Chicago White Sox beat the Cleveland Indians 3-1 on Thursday night as they completed a three game sweep of the Indians.  With the three wins over the Indians, the White Sox are now in first place by 3.5 games in the Central Division.

Carlos Quentin led the White Sox at the plate as he had two rbi in the game.  Quentin had a rbi groundout in the first inning and then a rbi single in the eighth inning.  Jermaine Dye also had a rbi single in the eighth inning for the White Sox.

White Sox starting pitcher Mark Buehrle tossed seven strong inning while only giving up two hits and one run.  It is really a shame that he came away in the game with a no decision.  Scott Linebrink pitched the eighth inning as he picked up the win which was his first of the season.  Bobby Jenks pitched a scoreless ninth inning to get his 12th save of the season.

Great series for the White Sox as the really moved up in the standing.  They will try to continue the good baseball on Friday when they begin a series with the Los Angeles Angels.
