CLEVELAND: The Indians traded punches with the Chicago White Sox all night but couldn’t answer their last haymaker, giving up a five-run ninth to fall 10-7 Wednesday at Progressive Field.
The Indians entered the ninth leading 7-5 with closer Cody Allen on the mound. Two singles and a walk loaded the bases with one out. Dioner Navarro blooped a single into left field that third baseman Jose Ramirez got his glove on but couldn’t catch, making it 7-6. Adam Eaton followed by crushing a grand slam to right field, capping the furious comeback.
The Indians made it interesting against White Sox closer David Robertson in the ninth.
