In Cleveland last night…

Ryan Garko hit a pinch-hit, two-run, game-tying homer in the ninth inning, and then delivered the game-winning single in the eleventh as the Indians recorded their 28th come-from-behind win of the season as well as their 15th last at-bat win in 2007, 6-5 over the Chicago White Sox.  Garko has homered in three of his last four games.  Bobby Jenks started the bottom of the ninth with a two-run lead but lost it before he retired a batter.  It was the fifth blown save of the year for Jenks, and his third in his last seven appearances.  The loss marked the 12th time this season Chicago led in the seventh inning or later but failed to win.
