Cleveland Indians beat Red Sox, 3-2Cleveland Indians' manager Manny Acta argues with an ump earlier this season.

The series with the Minnesota Twins is over and now the Tribe will take on another rival in the American League Central in the Chicago White Sox, writes Jon Star of MLB.com.

Having dropped their finale against the Twins on Wednesday, but still tied with the Tigers atop the division, the Indians return home just 4 1/2 games up on the White Sox, a team that they will see plenty of in the second half.

Cleveland, which is 1-4 against the White Sox this year, is off to a 4-4 start in the second half and has seen the AL Central become the most hotly contested division in baseball. While the White Sox, who have lost eight of their last 12, find themselves with an opportunity to shrink their deficit.

In an interview with White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko, he tells MLB that it's getting to that point in the season where all of the games are big.

"Obviously, they don't count any more than the ones in April -- all the games count the same -- but if you're the team chasing, which we are right now, you only have so many cracks at the teams in front of you. You want to try and control your own destiny and not let it be where you have to play well and have other teams beat teams for you."
