Singles by Andrew Vaughn and Lenyn Sosa, who
both went 2-for-4, put two aboard with one out before Dominic
Fletcher knocked in the go-ahead run on a double inside the left
field line.
Jacob Amaya's knock into right two batters later plated an
insurance run. Zach DeLoach's hard grounder to right scored two
more and Luis Robert Jr., who had three hits, delivered a deep
sacrifice fly.
Fraser Ellard (2-2) got the win in relief for the White Sox, who
had lost 20 consecutive starts by Chris Flexen.
Flexen struck out six and allowed two runs on two solo home runs
across six innings.
Connor Wong (3-for-4) and Wilyer Abreu (2-for-4) each doubled
and homered to lead the Red Sox (72-71).
Richard Fitts, who allowed two unearned runs on six hits in a 5
2/3-inning start, and Luis Guerrero both made their MLB debuts
on the mound for Boston.
The Red Sox went scoreless in the first after Jarren Duran was
tagged out at home on a relay and Abreu was caught stealing
third base to end the threat. Wong's two-out homer an inning
later did get Boston on the board.
Fitts faced just a batter over the minimum through the first
three innings, having picked off a runner in the first and
worked around Vaughn's leadoff single to post another zero in
the second.
The White Sox had something brewing with two hits to begin the
fourth, but Fitts and shortstop Trevor Story combined to start a
1-6-3 double play to escape trouble.
DeLoach's grounder eluded Boston first baseman Triston Casas for
an error and rolled into the right field corner to begin
Chicago's sixth inning against Fitts.
Robert's single and Benintendi's RBI grounder tied the score,
then Lee's chopper through the infield landed just past relief
pitcher Greg Weissert's reach to give the White Sox a 2-1 lead.
Boston tied it when Abreu crushed his 15th homer of the season
to right-center field to make it 2-2 in the home sixth. The
damage could have been greater if not for right fielder
Fletcher's dive to rob Rafael Devers of an extra-base hit
towards the gap.
