CLEVELAND -- The Indians lost their starting pitcher two batters into the game, and it didn't get much better from there, as four Chicago pitchers combined on a three-hitter and the White Sox beat the Cleveland 4-1 on Tuesday night at Progressive Field.

Cleveland right-hander Carlos Carrasco apparently avoided serious injury after getting hit in the head by a line drive off the bat of left fielder Melky Cabrera.

The ball appeared to deflect off Carrasco's glove, and hit him on the right side of the face. He fell to the ground and remained face down for several minutes as Indians manager Terry Francona and the team trainers rushed to the mound. The trainers immediately called for a cart.

Carrasco was eventually helped to his feet and guided to the cart, which carried him off the field. He was taken to a local hospital and was being treated for a jaw contusion. X-rays were negative and he showed no signs of a concussion or head injury.

Left-hander Jose Quintana (1-0) started for the White Sox and in six innings held Cleveland to one unearned run on three hits with six strikeouts and two walks.

Left-handed relievers Dan Jennings and Zach Duke likewise gave Cleveland's lefty-heavy lineup fits in the seventh and eighth inning and right-hander David Robertson pitched the ninth to pick up his second save.

Carrasco (0-1) took the loss.

Right-hander Zach McAllister relieved Carrasco and threw a wild pitch that allowed Adam Eaton, who led off the game with an infield single, to move to third and Cabrera to second.

First baseman Jose Abreu struck out for the first out. Eaton scored on a groundout by designated hitter Adam LaRoche. Right fielder Avisail Garcia singled to center, scoring Cabrera and giving the White Sox a 2-0 lead.

The White Sox made it 3-0 on an RBI infield single by catcher Tyler Flowers in the top of the fourth inning.

In the bottom of the fourth, the Indians tagged Quintana for a run. Left fielder Jerry Sands singled, went to second on a passed ball and scored on a two-out double by designated hitter Ryan Raburn, cutting the Chicago lead to 3-1.

The White Sox got that run back in the top of the fifth on a solo home by Abreu off left-hander Nick Hagadone to make the score 4-1.
