04/09/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Asdrubal Cabrera drove in the game-winning run with two outs in the 11th, and the Cleveland Indians notched a 5-3 win over the Chicago White Sox in the rubber match of a season-opening three-game set.
Grady Sizemore added three hits and three RBI for the Indians, who are above .500 (2-1) for the first time since being 81-80 at the tail end of the 2008 season. Jhonny Peralta provided a key two-out RBI double in the eighth, while Matt LaPorta doubled in a 2-for-4 effort.
Justin Masterson pitched five strong innings, allowing only one run on four hits and two walks while fanning five. Jensen Lewis (1-0) earned the win for 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief, and Chris Perez earned his second save.
Carlos Quentin hit a two-run homer and drove in all three runs for the White Sox, who have lost five straight season-opening series. Juan Pierre added two hits and a run scored in the loss, while Gavin Floyd yielded two runs, five hits and three walks in six frames with seven strikeouts.
J.J. Putz (0-1) suffered the loss.
With Putz on the mound for Chicago in the 11th, the Indians forged ahead.
Luis Valbuena put down a perfect bunt down the third base line leading off, and he just beat Mark Teahen's throw for a single. Valbuena moved to second on Lou Marson's bunt, and, after Michael Brantley struck out, he scored on Cabrera's bloop single to shallow right for a 4-3 lead.
Sizemore followed with a double off the wall in deep right-center, driving in Cabrera for a two-run edge.
Perez set the White Sox down in order to secure the victory.
Cleveland broke the scoreless tie in the third. Brantley ripped a leadoff single to center and moved to second on a Floyd throwing error. After Cabrera sacrificed Brantley to third, Sizemore hit an RBI single for the game's first run.
The Indians extended their lead in the fifth with a two-out Sizemore base hit. Brantley worked a one-out walk, and two batters later Sizemore perfectly placed a line drive to the right-centerfield gap, allowing Brantley to score on the double.
Masterson allowed only two hits in the first four innings but ran into trouble in the fifth. He walked Teahen with one out, then Alexei Ramirez roped a single to center. Another single from Pierre loaded the bases, and, with two outs, Quentin drew a walk to force in a run. Masterson was able to prevent further damage by striking out Paul Konerko.
The White Sox grabbed their first lead, 3-2, in the seventh on Quentin's two- run blast, scoring Pierre, who had walked off reliever Tony Sipp to begin the frame.
Cleveland, though, answered by tying the game in the eighth off Matt Thornton. With two outs and nobody on base, Travis Hafner laced a single to right and was able to score on Peralta's double to deep right field.
Both teams put a runner on second with less than two outs in the ninth, but neither club could plate the winning run.
Game Notes
Every batter except for Pierre struck out at least once...Peralta also stole a base for the first time since August 4, 2008...Cleveland didn't earn its second win of the season in 2009 until its ninth game...Chicago managed just two hits in the final six innings and eight hits in the last two games combined.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
