The Indians again jumped out to a sizable lead early in the game, but this time comfortably held it in a 7-1 snowy road win against the Chicago White Sox.
The Indians (2-1) jumped out to a 5-0 lead against White Sox (3-2) starter John Danks (0-1) in the second inning, in part by taking advantage of a poor play by White Sox catcher Alex Avila. With the bases loaded, Carlos Santana (1-for-4, 2 RBI) tapped a ball a few feet. Avila corralled it, turned to home, realized he was too late to get Jason Kipnis at the plate and threw to first, only to have it sail into right field, scoring two runs.
