CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox fell 3-1 to the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday to even the current four-game series at a game each.

How it happened: The White Sox's offense was tied up for a second consecutive night, only this time they were unable to pull off the victory. The Indians' Trevor Bauer held the White Sox to one run on four hits in 7 1/3 innings to earn the victory. White Sox starter Jose Quintana was wildly effective, giving up eight hits and four walks but only two runs over seven innings. The only White Sox run came on an Avisail Garcia single in the fourth inning. The defeat snapped the White Sox's six-game winning streak.

What it means: Time will tell, and quickly, whether the Indians' rotation duo of Corey Kluber and Bauer have derailed what had been a resurgent White Sox offense. The White Sox had scored 49 runs in their previous nine games before this series began (5.4 per game) only to score a combined three in the first two games of the current series against the Indians.

Outside the box: Bauer held the top of the White Sox's order in check as the first three hitters -- Adam Eaton, Melky Cabrera and Jose Abreu -- went a combined 2-for-11. In three starts against the White Sox already this season, Bauer has held the Indians' division rival to a combined three earned runs over 20 1/3 innings, good for a 2-0 record.

Off beat: A potential lineup scratch because of a sore right knee, Garcia played anyway and then made a miscue two pitches into the game. Jason Kipnis hit a line drive to right field in the first inning that Garcia misread, breaking in on the play. The ball got over his head for a triple and Kipnis scored the Indians' first run on a sacrifice fly from Michael Brantley. Garcia made amends with his RBI single.

Up next: The White Sox will send left-hander Carlos Rodon (1-0, 3.96 ERA) to the mound Wednesday in the third game of the four-game series. The Indians will counter with right-hander Shaun Marcum (0-0, 1.80) in the 7:10 p.m. CT start from U.S. Cellular Field.
