Paul DeJong and Corey Julks each contributed
two hits for Chicago. DeJong belted a three-run home run in the
fourth to give the White Sox a 3-1 lead. Gavin Sheets delivered
a go-ahead, opposite-field single to left in the seventh, but
the Chicago bullpen was unable to maintain the lead.
Tanner Banks blew a save opportunity for Chicago in the ninth.
Hamilton hit a leadoff double, stole third base and scored on a
Reese McGuire RBI sacrifice fly.
Michael Soroka (0-7) took the loss, allowing two hits and a pair
of unearned runs in the 10th while striking out two. Soroka
dropped the ball on a throw to first base at the start of the
inning, giving the Red Sox runners on the corners with no outs.
Boston pitched a bullpen game, with seven relievers beginning
with Zack Kelly combining to scatter seven hits with four walks
and 17 strikeouts.
Kenley Jansen improved to 2-1 after pitching two scoreless
innings of one-hit ball with five strikeouts. Cam Booser picked
up the save, striking out two in the 10th.
White Sox starter Chris Flexen took a no-decision after
scattering two runs and two hits in five innings with two walks
and three strikeouts.
Flexen retired the first nine Red Sox before Jarren Duran lined
a triple to right field to lead off the fourth inning. Enmanuel
Valdez worked a walk before Refsnyder grounded into a double
play to drive in the game's first run.
Chicago answered in the bottom half. A trio of Red Sox errors
helped put two runners aboard ahead of DeJong, who connected for
a three-run homer against Justin Slaten. DeJong, who has a
team-best 12 home runs, has gone deep in three of the past five
games.
Hamilton smacked a solo shot against Flexen to draw the Red Sox
within 3-2 in the fifth. Boston tied the game on Garrett
Cooper's run-scoring groundout one inning later.
Boston third baseman Rafael Devers (knee) was held out of the
lineup.
