Indians ride C.C.'s gem to a win over White Sox
Victor Martinez had a career-high four hits for the Indians, who moved within two games of the White Sox for second place in the AL Central.
Sabathia (5-3) scattered four hits and retired 13 of the last 14 batters he faced, including the last seven. He struck out four and walked one, and lowered his ERA from 2.95 to 2.80 — second in the AL to Oakland's Tim Hudson (2.78).
Matt Miller pitched a perfect ninth to complete the four-hitter.
Aaron Rowand hit a solo homer off the left-field foul pole on a 1-2 pitch from Sabathia in the fourth for the White Sox, who have lost five of their last six. Rowand had three of the four hits against Sabathia, and finished 3-for-4.
The Indians got off to a quick start against Scott Schoeneweis (5-6).
Belliard led off the game with a homer to left on a 3-1 pitch from Schoeneweis for his sixth career leadoff home run. Two outs later, Martinez singled and Blake followed with a two-run homer — his 11th — to give the Indians a 3-0 lead.
In the second inning, Sabathia and plate umpire Tim Timmons exchanged words after the big left-hander didn't get a called strike during Jose Valentin's at-bat. Indians manager Eric Wedge quickly came out of the dugout to separate Sabathia from Timmons. There were no further incidents.
With the Indians leading 3-1 with one out in the fifth, Coco Crisp grounded into a fielder's choice, and second baseman Juan Uribe had a chance to turn it into an inning-ending double play, but Uribe made a bad throw to first, and Crisp was safe.
Matt Lawton followed with a single that got past first baseman Paul Konerko's glove, and Martinez drove in Crisp with an RBI single.
ANGELS 10, ATHLETICS 3: At Anaheim, Vladimir Guerrero went 4-for-5 with a homer and four RBIs, and David Eckstein hit a two-run double in the Angels' four-run fifth inning.
John Lackey (5-8) allowed two runs and seven hits in eight innings. The right-hander struck out four and walked none while winning for only the second time in his last eight starts.

ASTROS 7, PIRATES 5: At Houston, Lance Berkman hit a tying three-run double and Jeff Kent drove in the go-ahead run in a big fifth inning, helping Houston rally.
Berkman had four RBIs and Jason Lane homered for the Astros, who came back from a 4-0 deficit to win their second in a row.
Kent had to leave after the seventh inning after jamming his right pinkie while sliding into third base in the fifth. There was no immediate word on the severity of the injury.
