By Matt Motyka in News on Jul 9, 2009 3:00PM

The White Sox took game two from the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday night, winning 5-1. Jose Contreras pitched six-plus frames, allowing one run on six hits while striking out nine. At the dish, Jermaine Dye was 3-for-4 with three RBIs, driving home runs in the first, third and seventh innings. Paul Konerko and Gordon Beckham added to the third-inning offensive, each picking up an RBI en route to an early four-run lead. The Sox will shoot for the series sweep at 1:05 this afternoon as youngsters David Huff and Clayton Richard square off on the mound. Richard, who last pitched on July 5, will look to reverse his recent fortunes on short rest.
