CHICAGO -- Chicago White Sox slugger Jose Abreu hit another home run Thursday. And not just any homer.Abreu continued his second-half surge with two more hits and Carlos Sanchez drove in the winning run in the ninth inning in the White Soxs 2-1 victory over the Cleveland Indians.Before the game, Abreu met with a young cancer patient and said he would try to hit a home run for the boy. He lived up to the promise on his second at-bat, a blast over the left-field fence that tied it.You feel for the people, Abreu said through an interpreter. It was very emotional for me, too, because if I couldnt hit the homer, I would feel bad because I couldnt accomplish what I promised to him. This is something I feel proud of, because these are the moments that you make people feel happy.Abreu needs six homers and five RBI to join Albert Pujols as only major leaguers with 30 homers and 100 RBI in each of their first three seasons.Hes getting close, manager Robin Ventura said. He started out a bit slow, but when you look at the end of the year, hes probably going to have numbers that are as impressive as anybodys the league.After Omar Narvaez led off the ninth with a single off reliever Bryan Shaw (2-5), pinch-runner Leury Garcia stole second while Avisail Garcia struck out. Sanchez followed with a bloop single to right-center.Reliever David Robertson (5-3) pitched a scoreless inning to earn the victory.Cleveland threatened in the ninth, when the shadows around home plate made it more difficult to hit. Pinch-hitter Francisco Lindor and Coco Crisp struck out to strand the lead run at third.You could see it coming, Indians manager Terry Francona said. Youre hoping you get a lead before that.

The first-place Indians remained six games ahead of the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central.Winning the series against the Indians, especially how theyve been playing at the end of the year, is real nice, Shields said.Cleveland counterpart Mike Clevinger retired seven batters in a row before Abreu took him deep in the fourth. That was the lone run off Clevinger, who allowed three hits and one walk in four innings.Shields labored through a 33-pitch third but avoided major damage. The Indians scored only on Jose Ramirezs sacrifice fly despite a single, three walks and two wild pitches.Clevinger encountered trouble in the first, but retired Narvaez on a pop out with the bases loaded.RIGHT STUFFGarcia has a .341 batting average in his last 11 games and five home runs and 16 RBI in his last 28. The hot streak coincided with his move from designated hitter to right field.His swings are better, Ventura said. Whether it was playing the outfield or not, there could be a correlation to that. But I think its more (about) his mechanics and just the timing that he has right now.ON HOLDLindor remained 22 hits short of 200 this season.
