Cleveland starter Justin Masterson got back to winning on Monday night in Chicago. After taking his first loss in his last turn, Masterson held the White Sox in check.
The ace of the Indians' staff went seven innings and allowed two runs to improve to 4-1. He gave up four hits and walked four batters with five strikeouts. Masterson threw 100 pitches.
After allowing just one earned run over his first three starts, spanning 22 innings, Masterson surrendered four in his last outing against Boston to suffer the loss. He rebounded Monday and his ERA is outstanding at 1.85.
Masterson will search for his fifth victory when he next takes the ball Sunday in Kansas City.
