The Cleveland Indians sure made things interseting in the bottom of the ninth inning but the Chicago White Sox held on to beat the the Indians by the score of 6-5.  The game tying run was on third base and the game winning run on second base for the Indians with one out before Bobby Jenks was finally able to get the last two outs of the game for the White Sox.

Jenks picked up his 14th save in the game.  Starting pitcher Gavin Floyd got the win to improve his record to 5-3.  Floyd threw six inning and gave up eight hits and five runs.  Floyd also had seven strikeouts in the game.

Octavio Dotel and Scott Linebrink both tossed scoreless innings of relief after Floyd left the game.

Jermaine Dye hit his ninth home run of the season in the fourth inning for the White Sox.  Carlos Quentin once again led the White Sox at the plate however with three rbi in the game.  A.J. Pierzynski had the other two rbi for the White Sox.

The White Sox will now start up a series with the Tampa Bay Rays.  The Rays have been playing some good baseball so the White Sox are going to really have to come to play.
