Santana, Anderson lead Indians past White Sox 12-1

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Indians have been waiting all season for Carlos Santana to get on a roll.

Friday night could be a step in that direction.

Santana's grand slam capped a six-run third inning off Chicago ace Chris Sale and the Indians beat the White Sox 12-1.

Cleveland entered play trailing Houston by four games for the second wild-card spot in the AL. The chances of getting to the postseason would look a lot better if Santana can finally produce.

"We've all waited for that one real hot streak," Indians manager Terry Francona said.
