CHICAGO: Shaun Marcum won his first start in almost two years, Michael Brantley had a two-run double in the seventh inning, and the Indians beat the Chicago White Sox 4-3 on Wednesday night.
Recalled earlier Wednesday from Triple-A Columbus, Marcum went 6u2154 innings and gave up two runs and four hits and struck out six for the Indians, who have won four of six.
Jose Ramirez had two hits and two runs and reached base four times in a game that began after a 31-minute rain delay.
Marcum (1-0) hadn’t started a game in the major leagues since July 6, 2013, for the New York Mets.
