With the Red Sox regaining the lead against the Chicago White Sox last night, Boston looked poised to win the game as long as they could hold their opponents off of the scoreboard. That is, until the eighth inning. Uehara was brought in to start the frame, but a two-run blast by Melky Cabrera followed by a Brett Lawrie solo-shot put the White Sox in the lead again.
Two home runs given up in just two thirds of an inning. Red Sox manager John Farrell didn’t even let the former closer finish out the frame.
