AMERICAN LEAGUE Chicago erupts on Tribe bullpen

Cleveland wasted a four-run lead in the ninth inning.
CHICAGO (AP) -- Ozzie Guillen's first month as a major league manager has given him reason to fidget. The Chicago White Sox's early-season success has been anything but a breeze.
Chicago rallied for five runs in the bottom of the ninth Wednesday, beating the Cleveland Indians 9-8 on Sandy Alomar's sacrifice fly.
It marked the third time the White Sox overcame a ninth-inning deficit to win, and five of their seven home wins this season came in their final at-bat.
Guillen's team is now 7-1 in one-run games.
"It's fun to watch if you are a fan, but if you are in the dugout it gets intense every day, day-in and day-out," Guillen said.
"A win is a win, but I wish we would win one easy before this thing is over," he said.
Winning rally
Chicago trailed 8-2 after six innings. Still down 8-4, the White Sox then stormed back -- it was the first time they'd overcome a four-run deficit to win in the bottom of the ninth since June 4, 1988.
Juan Uribe led off with a single and Magglio Ordonez followed with a home run against David Riske. One out later, Carlos Lee doubled, and Rafael Betancourt (2-3) relieved.
On a blustery day at U.S. Cellular Field with wind gusting at 33 mph, Indians first baseman Ben Broussard -- who entered the game in the ninth as a defensive replacement -- dropped Paul Konerko's towering popup for an error.
"The wind is blowing real hard, but the ball still has to be caught," Indians manager Eric Wedge said. "There are no excuses."
Joe Crede and Timo Perez followed with RBI singles to tie it at 8 and Alomar hit his sacrifice fly to right to score Crede.
After Wednesday's implosion, the Indian bullpen stands at 3-8 overall, and has blown five of seven save opportunities.
Mike Jackson (1-0) got the victory with two hitless innings of relief.
"I always think I'm going to win and you have to get 27 outs, but when you are behind by that many runs, it's very difficult," Alomar said.
Rolling
The Indians fell behind 2-0 after the first, but then scored six runs in the fourth, highlighted by Ronnie Belliard's three-run double. Cleveland pushed the lead to 8-2 on Omar Vizquel's two-run homer in the sixth off Chicago starter Scott Schoeneweis.
But Uribe and Crede homered in the seventh and eighth innings to get the White Sox in position to come back -- with the help of a wind-blown popup.
"When Broussard dropped Paul's fly, it seemed the wheel started to turn in our favor right there," Crede said.
"It played difficult every inning. I feel sorry for Broussard because he came into the game not knowing what I did. We were out there for nine innings and knew what the wind was doing," Indians left fielder Matt Lawton said.
Cleveland starter Jason Davis went 62/3 innings, allowing three runs and eight hits, including Uribe's solo homer in the seventh.
