Chicago White Sox vs. Cleveland Indians WATCH FREE Major League Baseball Live Streaming Online from Progressive Field at 6:05 PM ET

The Indians and White Sox turned in losing records in the first month of the season.

The last-place Indians are in worse shape as losers of a season-high six straight entering Friday night's opener of a three-game home series against the White Sox.

Cleveland (11-17) completed an 0-6 trip in which it totaled 13 runs and batted .183 with Wednesday's 7-1 defeat to the Angels.

"It was a really tough trip. There's no way around it," manager Terry Francona told the team's website. "Not a lot went right for us. But we have to put it behind us. We have to go fix it, and we'll do that."

The Indians will have to try to fix it without Kipnis, who did not play Wednesday due to a strained abdominal muscle suffered the night before and was placed on the 15-day DL hours before this game.

Kipnis is hitting .234 with three homers and 12 RBIs.

Offense isn't a concern for Chicago (14-15), averaging 5.3 runs for one of baseball's best marks. The White Sox have been undone by a 4.81 ERA that is among the worst in the majors.

Chicago has lost six straight at Cleveland, going 1-8 at Progressive Field last season. The White Sox lost their final 14 meetings with the Indians in 2013 before taking three of four at home April 10-13.
