In the home half of the eighth, Tribe utility man Michael Martinez led off with an opposite-field single and Jason Kipnis brought him home with a double that split the right-center gap. That gave Cleveland a short-lived 2-1 lead, as closer Cody Allen could not keep Chicago in check in the ninth.
With one out, Brett Lawrie and Avisail Garcia connected for consecutive doubles off Allen, pulling the game into a 2-2 deadlock.
