The Indians fought back valiantly from an 8-1 deficit, but still lose to the White Sox 9-7. Jim Thome got Chicago off on the right foot with a three-run homer in the first, and Nick Swisher added a grand slam and a solo shot. Peralta had a big night for the Indians, picking up eleven total bases on five hits, including three doubles and a homer. It just wasn't enough.

With Kansas City defeating the Orioles in extra innings, the Indians fall into last place in the AL Central. The Royals came from behind on an Olivo home run in the ninth that tied the game and a Guillen RBI single in the eleventh that proved to be the game winner. The Royals are 12-3 in their last 15 games.
