Nicky Delmonico made the trip around the bases too fast to really soak in what had just happened Thursday night.
In his third career game, and his first at Fenway Park, the White Sox rookie homered off reigning Cy Young Award winner Rick Porcello. Delmonico’s two-out, three-run homer to right field on the first pitch he saw in the third inning was the highlight of a 9-5 loss that the Red Sox led from start to finish.
“I made solid contact with it, and I don’t know, I went too fast around the bases,” Delmonico said.
