CLEVELAND — David Holmberg had gone two years between victories. The wait was worth it Saturday night.
Holmberg allowed two runs in five innings for his first win since July 30, 2015 and the Chicago White Sox defeated the Cleveland Indians 5-3.
The left-hander (1-0) hadn't won since defeating Pittsburgh when he was a member of the Cincinnati Reds.
"We need to win some ballgames, so I'm happy," Holmberg said. "You want to get in, use all your pitches, and get out. The guys came out hitting for me, so I wanted to do my part.
