Carlos Rodón was the tough-luck loser. The lefty allowed one hit, a solo home run to Tommy Edman with two outs in the third, in six innings. He struck out 10 in the 94-pitch outing.
Sox right fielder Adam Eaton left the game before the sixth with right hamstring tightness, and reliever Michael Kopech fell after delivering a pitch in the seventh and limped off the field as third baseman Yoán Moncada caught a popup for the final out. The Sox said Kopech has a sore left hamstring and both he and Eaton are day to day.
The Sox loaded the bases with one out in the first before Yermín Mercedes lined out to left.
