In contrast to Boston’s pitching woes, Chicago’s starting pitchers are 6-0 with a 2.57 ERA in the last eight games.
(AP) – The Chicago White Sox didn’t provide Chris Sale with much support throughout most of June, but he’s received plenty of help this month and got enough runs to win his last start before throwing a pitch.
Steven Wright allowed two runs on six hits over seven innings.
Porcello (5-11) hit a batter with the bases loaded and allowed seven hits and a walk in two-plus innings.
-Adam Eaton has stirred the drink, hitting at a.407/.484/.741 clip with two homers and five RBIs despite missing Sunday’s game.
After literally wilting in the 90-degree heat Wednesday night – he exited in the sixth inning complaining of dehydration – Sandoval received intravenous fluids and is ready to return to the Red Sox’ lineup tonight for the finale of a four-game series against the surging Chicago White Sox.
Abreu’s last homer, on which Mookie Betts suffered a concussion Tuesday night, landed in nearly the exact same spot. This will be Wright’s first career appearance against Chicago. White Sox 2, Red Sox 1.
Boston would likely have to send a handful of young prospects – Jackie Bradley Jr., Brian Johnson or Henry Owens, just to name a few – in order to obtain a player like the ones mentioned above. Swihart singled to center, R.Castillo to third, Rutledge to second. Not the best baserunning decision by the rookie catcher. Shuck than an error in judgement on his part.
The damage was not finished, however, as shortstop Alexei Ramirez proceeded to lead off the third inning with a solo shot to left center, increasing the gap to 6-0 and prompting Red Sox manager John Farrell to remove the scuffling Porcello from the contest.
Sale did not get an out in the sixth inning. “Three consecutive nights we find ourselves down multiple runs early in the ballgame”.

Sandoval battled weight issues throughout his career with the Giants, and the Red Sox were well-aware of those struggles when they signed him to a five-year, $95 million contract in November. With two outs and a runner on first, singles by Bogaerts, Hanley Ramirez, and Ortiz produced two runs. Brock Holt had a two-run single, and Rusney Castillo homered. He’s gone 3-1 with a 2.76 ERA in four games this month while backed with 17 runs. “That’s a poor display, these three games”.
