CHICAGO -- With at least one baserunner in 15 of the last 16 innings, the Indians finally saw results in a 4-3 victory over the White Sox on Wednesday night. A three-run seventh inning gave Cleveland the run support it needed against a Chicago team that has scored six runs in the first three games of the series.Indians closer Cody Allen gave up one run in the bottom of the ninth on an RBI single from Alexei Ramirez, but he struck out pinch-hitter J.B. Shuck with the bases loaded to escape the jam and earn his eighth save. 
Starter Shaun Marcum earned the win for the Indians in his first start since 2013, after missing all of last season as he recovered from surgery. Marcum went 6 2/3, struck out six and didn't walk a single batter while allowing two runs and four hits.Reliever Dan Jennings (0-1) took the loss after he surrendered three runs in the seventh inning. Indians shortstop Jose Ramirez reached base four times to spark the offense, and left fielder Michael Brantley added a two-run double in the decisive rally.MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Round trips: Despite sitting second to last in home runs, the White Sox belted two on Wednesday night. Center fielder Adam Eaton broke a scoreless tie in the third when he hit his first home run to right field. Third baseman Conor Gillaspie also hit one out to right field with his blast in the seventh.Patience pays: The Indians didn't square up many balls against White Sox starter Carlos Rodon, but were able to push across a run in the sixth by letting the hard-throwing lefty get himself in trouble. Ramirez led off with a walk and stole second, and one out later, Ryan Raburn walked to put two on. Nick Swisher followed with a single to load the bases and Mike Aviles drove in the run with a sacrifice fly.Living on the edge: Rodon still had issues with his command Wednesday night, walking five batters, but unlike before, he pitched himself out of multiple jams. In both the third and fourth inning, Rodon walked the second batter, only to record a double play the very next at-bat. He escaped the sixth inning with only one run after forcing a flyout with runners on first and second.Seventh heaven: Jennings followed Rodon and the Indians immediately put up a three-spot in the seventh. Ramirez had a run-scoring single and Brantley followed with the big blow, a two-run double to make it 4-1.QUOTABLE
"I think the innings he got at Triple-A are really good for him. He's stretched out enough now and he can bounce back now, so he should have the ability to not only pitch a game but pitch multiple games and win." -- Indians manager Terry Francona, before Marcum's outingSOUND SMART WITH YOUR FRIENDS
Eaton's home run was his first since April 4, 2014, also against the Indians. The last time he touched all bases against someone other than the Indians came when he was with Arizona on Sept. 3, 2013, against the Blue Jays.WHAT'S NEXT
