CLEVELAND -- Turns out changing the opponent had no effect on the Tribe's lack-luster offense so far this season. The Indians dropped a 4-2 decision against the Chicago White Sox on Monday night, falling to 1-3 on the season; with the win the Sox improve to 2-2.
The Tribe sent Josh Tomlin (0-1) to the bump, allowing all 3 runs in the first and another in the fifth. A combined effort from Acardo Ascencio, Dan Wheeler and Rafael Perez held the Sox scoreless the remaining four innings.
Manager Manny Acta used a lineup that included Lou Marson, Jason Donald, Jose Lopez and Aaron Cunningham to take on Chris Sale (1-0). The Tribe will look to rebound in the second game of a three game set with the White Sox. First pitch is slated for 7:05 PM, with the Tribe sending Jeanmar Gomez (0-0) to the mound to take on Phillip Humbar (0-0).
Game Notes: Shin-Soo Choo was hit by a pitch on the same hand that ended his season last year. Preliminary tests indicate no damage.
