[Cleveland] chipped away at the White Sox on Thursday, scoring single runs in the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th innings to win, 5-4, on Tyler Naquin's sacrifice fly. Only two other teams in major-league history have had a walkoff win by scoring once, and only once, in each of the final five innings in which they batted. The other teams to do that were the Red Sox in 1961 and the Orioles in 2014.August 18, 2016
