José Ramirez hit a two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning, giving the Indians a 5-3 win over the White Sox and snapping Cleveland’s three-game losing streak Wednesday night.
Francisco Lindor singled with one out against Jace Fry (1-1) before Jason Kipnis struck out. White Sox manager Rick Renteria brought in right-hander Kelvin Herrera to face the switch-hitting Ramirez and Lindor stole second on a 2-1 pitch.
Ramirez crushed Herrera's next pitch — a 96 mph fastball — through a stiff wind and into the seats in right for his third homer, setting off a much-needed celebration by the Indians.
