After jumping out to an early lead in the first, the White Sox couldn’t hold on, giving it all back and then some. A disastrous third inning would seal the win for the Red Sox, providing more than enough runs needed to prevail.
Nick Maton jumped on the first pitch of the game for a single, in a generous scoring play given Wilyer Abreu couldn’t field the ball on what would typically be a routine catch. Andrew Benintendi followed by shooting a ball to the right-center gap, putting ducks on the pond. Edgar Quero drove in Nick Maton, but via productive ground out, the second out of the inning, and the White Sox could do no more damage.
