CHICAGO (AP) - C.C. Sabathia allowed one run in eight impressive innings, and Ronnie Belliard and Casey Blake homered in the first inning of the Cleveland Indians' 5-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Monday night.

Victor Martinez had a career-high four hits for the Indians, who moved within two games of the White Sox for second place in the AL Central.

Sabathia (5-3) scattered four hits and retired 13 of the last 14 batters he faced, including the last seven. He struck out four and walked one, and lowered his ERA from 2.95 to 2.80 - second in the AL to Oakland's Tim Hudson (2.78).

Matt Miller pitched a perfect ninth to complete the four-hitter.

Aaron Rowand went 3-for-4, including a solo homer in the fourth, for the White Sox, who have lost five of their last six. Scott Schoeneweis (5-6) took the loss.
