White Sox become 20th team in history to score in every inning

The Cleveland Indians are probably glad Monday's game was played in Chicago, otherwise the White Sox would have had another inning to score in.

During their 11-4 thrashing of Cleveland on Monday night, the White Sox accomplished the rare feat of scoring a run in every inning they batted. The first run scored on an RBI groundout by Jose Abreu, before Todd Frazier wrapped up the historic night with a two-run homer in the eighth. Since the White Sox were leading at home, they didn't bat in the ninth.

Avisail Garcia and Adam Eaton also homered to help the South Siders pull off the upset over the division-leading Indians. Eaton had a pair of RBIs, as did Abreu thanks to his groundout and an RBI double, while Tyler Saladino added an RBI double for himself. Chicago only scored multiple runs in three innings at the plate.

It's the 20th time since 1900 that a team has scored a run in every inning, and amazingly, the second time it's happened this season. The Milwaukee Brewers ran the table during an 11-3 win over the Atlanta Braves in August.

"I didn't know we scored in every inning, to be honest with you," Frazier told reporters, including CSN Chicago's Dan Hayes. "Only 20 times (ever)? Wow, that's pretty cool. You would think there would be a lot more than that, but we are in the record books again. That's nice."

The early damage was done off Indians starter Carlos Carrasco, who allowed five runs (four earned) on eight hits in just 3 2/3 innings. Every Indians pitcher was on the mound for at least one of the 11 runs allowed; reliever Kyle Crockett wasn't charged with a run - earned or unearned - but an inherited runner did score after he struck out his only batter of the night, thanks to a passed ball.

This was the second time a White Sox team has scored in every inning. The 1949 edition also pulled it off during a game at Comiskey Park against Boston.
