Victor Returns, Tribe Wins!
CLEVELAND, OH -- Victor Martinez hit his 1st dinger in nearly a year to help the Tribe down the Chicago White Sox 9-3 on Tuesday night.

Fausto Carmona (8-5) pitched 5 2/3 innings to win his 3rd straight start and Asdrubal Cabrera broke out of a 1-for-19 slump with 3 hits for the Tribe, winners of 12 of 15.

Travis Hafner and LHP Aaron Laffey were not among 6 players called up by the Tribe from AAA Buffalo. Laffey was shut down with an inflamed left elbow. Hafner, out since May with a sore right shoulder, likely will keep rehabbing in the minors.

TW StarWatch: Tribe Bullpen: Betancourt, Perez and Donnelly allowing no runs, 2 hits and striking out 3 in 3 1/3 innings.
