GLENDALE, Ariz. – While the White Sox avoid using their starting pitchers against AL Central opponents, the Indians figure they’ve seen their rivals so often a few spring training games won’t hurt.

So at the same time Jake Peavy was throwing 81 pitches on a back field against minor leaguers, Ubaldo Jimenez worked five solid innings against the Sox in a 5-2 victory Wednesday.

After stringing together four hits in the second, including an RBI ground-rule double to center by Gordon Beckham and a run-scoring single by Dewayne Wise, the Sox were held to two hits in the final six innings against Jimenez and four Indians relievers.
