After a 4-2 win yesterday, the Chicago White Sox lined up again at Fenway Park for the second game of the weekend series against the Boston Red Sox. With windy conditions and sun in their eyes, the South Siders battled their way to add a fifth win to their streak, taking the game 3-1 — but not without a rather frustrating fight.
The first four innings saw both teams threaten with base hits, including Chicago’s Tim Anderson, Leury García, and Jake Burger, but no runs were scored. The South Siders faced the Red Sox’s struggling starting pitcher Nick Pivetta in the first six innings, and despite his disappointing season so far, the 29-year-old managed to keep the White Sox offense at bay.
