Boston out-hit Chicago 19-6 to win for the ninth time in its
last 11 games. The Red Sox achieved season highs for runs and
hits by the fifth inning.
J.D. Martinez led the way with four hits while Vazquez had three
hits and four RBIs and Story had two hits and four RBIs. Each
Red Sox starter had at least one hit and one run, and all but
one had an RBI.
Chicago right-hander Dylan Cease stumbled through his shortest
start of the season, yielding seven runs and eight hits in three
innings. Cease (4-2) walked two and struck out four while
yielding a pair of home runs for the second time in his past
three starts.
On May 7, Cease pitched five innings of one-run ball at Boston
in a no-decision.
Nick Pivetta, Cease's opposite number in that game and on
Tuesday, retired the first nine White Sox before Tim Anderson
doubled to lead off the fourth inning. Jose Abreu put Chicago on
the board three batters later, smacking a two-run home run to
center field.
Pivetta improved to 3-4 after scattering three runs and five
hits in six innings, with two walks and five strikeouts. It was
the right-hander's fourth consecutive quality start.
As if an eight-run cushion weren't enough, the Red Sox scored
six runs in the fifth. Boston scored in its first five at-bats.
Anderson, Abreu and Andrew Vaughn each had two hits for the
White Sox. Anderson logged his fifth straight multi-hit game,
extending his major-league-best total to 19.
Chicago's Vince Velasquez contributed three innings of scoreless
relief with a walk and five strikeouts.
Chicago center fielder Luis Robert missed the game and will be
sidelined for the series as he was placed on the COVID-19 list.
