CLEVELAND -- Trevor Bauer pitched six strong innings and Lonnie Chisenhall had two hits and two RBIs as the Cleveland Indians snapped their four-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday afternoon at Progressive Field.

Bauer (2-0) held the White Sox to two runs on four hits with eight strikeouts and four walks. Right-hander Cody Allen pitched the ninth to earn his second save.

White Sox left-hander John Danks (0-2) gave up four runs, three earned, in 4 2/3 innings and took the loss.

The right-handed Bauer held the White Sox hitless over the first three innings. In his previous start, April 9 in Houston, Bauer pitched six hitless innings, giving him a streak of nine consecutive hitless innings over two starts.

The Indians' left-heavy lineup has struggled against left-handed pitching this season, and Danks retired the first six batters he faced in the game.

But Cleveland scored an unearned run in the third inning to take an early lead. Designated hitter Ryan Raburn singled, and was safe at second on a wild throw by catcher Gionvany Soto on a sacrifice bunt by catcher Roberto Perez. Shortstop Jose Ramirez followed with a sacrifice bunt, moving Raburn to third and Perez to second. Raburn then scored on a groundout by center fielder Michael Bourn, giving the Indians a 1-0 lead.

The Indians scored two more runs in the third inning to extend their lead to 3-0. With one out, right fielder Jerry Sands reached on an infield single. Sands moved to third on a double by Raburn, and Sands and Raburn both scored on a double to right field by third baseman Chisenhall.

Cleveland knocked Danks out of the game with a fifth-inning rally. With two outs and nobody on base, second baseman Jason Kipnis walked and stole second. First baseman Carlos Santana followed with a single, scoring Kipnis and giving the Indians a 4-0 lead.

Danks was removed from the game after Santana's single.

Bauer's hitless streak ended with a leadoff single by first baseman Jose Abreu in the fourth inning. Bauer held the White Sox scoreless on two hits through five innings.

The White Sox finally broke through to score two runs in the sixth inning. With one out designated hitter, Adam LaRoche drew a walk and went to third on a double by third baseman Conor Gillaspie. LaRoche then scored on a groundout by shortstop Alexei Ramirez. Right fielder J.B. Shuck singled, scoring Gillaspie, cutting the Cleveland lead to 4-2.

After his six innings of work, Bauer turned it over to the Indians' bullpen. Right-handers Scott Atchison, Bryan Shaw and Allen, plus left-hander Marc Rzepczynski, worked the last three innings to preserve the win, the Indians' only win in their five-game season-opening homestand.

NOTES: Indians RHP Carlos Carrasco was feeling well enough Wednesday that manager Terry Francona said Carrasco will start Monday's game in Chicago. Carrasco was hit in the head by a line drive off the bat of OF Melky Cabrera in the first inning of Tuesday's game. Carrasco sustained a bruised jaw. ... Indians OF Brandon Moss, who struck out four times in Tuesday's game and nine times in his first 20 at bats overall, was given a day off. ... White Sox relievers LHP Dan Jennings, LHP Zach Duke and RHP David Robertson combined for eight strikeouts in three innings in Tuesday's game. According to STATS, that marked the first time White Sox relievers have struck out eight batters in three innings or less since April 24, 1974, vs. Milwaukee.
