Indians meet White Sox in middle game of three-game set

Apr 4, 2007 - 2:02 PM Cleveland (1-0) at Chi White Sox (0-1) 2:05 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- Grady Sizemore and the the Cleveland Indians hope to have another big offensive day Wednesday when they continue a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox.

On Monday, Sizemore homered on the game's second pitch to help spark the Indians to a 12-5 victory. The Indians' 12 runs were their most in an opener since they scored 21 against St. Louis in 1925.

Cleveland has not started 2-0 since winning its first six games in 1998 en route to capturing the American League Central Division.

Trot Nixon had three hits and scored three runs and Victor Martinez knocked in three runs for the Indians on Monday.

Jake Westbrook, who went 15-10 last season with a 4.17 ERA, takes the mound for the Indians. The sinkerballer also went 3-0 with a 1.69 ERA in three starts against the White Sox last season.

After Jose Contreras failed to make it out of the second inning, the White Sox will be looking for a big effort from Jon Garland, who went 18-7 with a 4.51 ERA last season. The righthander was 1-1 with a 7.15 ERA against the Indians in 2006.
