Rafael Devers went 2-for-4 and Triston Casas
also had an RBI for the Red Sox, who snapped a five-game losing
streak, returning home following a three-game sweep by the New
York Mets.
Chicago (32-110) wasted starter's Davis Martin six inning of
one-run ball. After Matt Foster *0-1) replaced him in the
seventh, Enmanuel Valdez walked after a 12-pitch plate
appearance with one out, setting up Rafaela's towering drive
over the Green Monster.
Zack Kelly (6-2) pitched a scoreless inning of relief to earn
the victory after Nick Pivetta struck out six and allowed just
one run across the first six frames.
Boston's bullpen allowed just one hit over the final three
innings, with Josh Winckowski pitching a perfect ninth to record
his first save of the season.
A scoreless first inning saw both teams strand two on base
before the visitors cracked the scoreboard on Jacob Amaya's
two-out RBI single to left in the second. Lenyn Sosa had lined a
leadoff double that rolled to the base of the Green Monster to
set up the opening run.
Martin hit both Wilyer Abreu and Masataka Yoshida with pitches
in consecutive at-bats to begin the fourth, then Casas produced
the tying run with a single to left field.
However, the chance of a big inning for the Red Sox ended when
Valdez, who had singled in his previous at-bat, grounded into a
4-6-3 double play to end the inning.
The White Sox managed singles in three straight innings from the
third through fifth, but Pivetta posted zeroes for the remainder
of his outing. He struck out the side around Chuckie Robinson's
two-out single in the fourth and benefited from a double play to
face the minimum in the sixth.
