Robert, who went 3-for-4 in the win, also
homered in Chicago's 5-4 triumph over Boston on Saturday. He has
21 home runs this season.
The victory allowed the White Sox to win the final two games in
the three-game series after Boston posted a 3-1 victory on
Friday night. Chicago's Andrew Benintendi, who began his career
with the Red Sox, went 2-for-4 Sunday and had seven hits in the
series.
Jesse Scholtens (1-2) tossed four innings of scoreless relief to
earn the victory. He gave up two hits, struck out three and
walked one. Scholtens replaced starter Tanner Banks with two
outs in the third inning.
Keynan Middleton pitched a scoreless ninth to pick up his second
save.
Crawford gave up four runs on five hits in six innings. He
recorded four strikeouts and walked one.
Adam Duvall's double drove in Justin Turner to give the Red Sox
a 1-0 lead in the third, but the White Sox grabbed the lead when
Robert hit the first of his two home runs to make it a 2-1 game
in the fourth. Benintendi also scored on the play.
Duvall collected two of Boston's five hits.
Benintendi hit an RBI double that scored Gavin Sheets to
increase the lead to 3-1 in the fifth, and Robert's solo home
run in the sixth capped the scoring.
Sunday's game ended Boston's seven-game road trip. The Red Sox
went 3-4 in those seven contests.
The loss dropped Boston's record against teams at or below the
.500 mark to 12-15.
