CC Sabathia pitched eight strong innings to earn his major league-best 16th win and the New York Yankees beat the host Chicago White Sox 3-2 on Monday for their fourth consecutive victory.

Sabathia allowed two runs and 10 hits, matching a season high, but managed to wiggle out of trouble all night as the White Sox struggled to score without injured slugger Paul Konerko. They put the tying run in scoring position in the fifth, sixth and seventh and came away with nothing each time.

Indians 9, Red Sox 6: Asdrubal Cabrera's second two-run homer of the game, originally ruled a single off the short wall in right field and overturned by replay review, broke an eighth-inning tie to lift visiting Cleveland past Boston.
