White Sox’s Peavy blanks Tribe


CHICAGO (AP) — Jake Peavy pitched a three-hitter in his home debut this season, outdueling Justin Masterson and making Adam Dunn’s sacrifice fly in the first inning stand up to lift the Chicago White Sox to a 1-0 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday night.

Peavy (1-0) struck out eight to cool off a Cleveland lineup that scored 31 runs in its three previous games. The 29-year old right-hander had his fifth career shutout and ninth complete game. He only allowed one runner past first base, did walk a batter and threw 111 pitches. Peavy finished the win by striking out Michael Brantley and Asdrubal Cabrera.

Masterson (5-2) pitched his third career complete game. He allowed one run on five hits. He struck out eight with two walks.
