Matt Thaiss added two-run shot for Chicago,
which lost its first eight road games.
Wilyer Abreu hit a three-run homer for the Red Sox, who had
their four-game win streak halted.
After pinch-hitter Brooks Baldwin’s run-scoring safety squeeze
sliced it to 4-3 in the seventh, Quero delivered his single up
the middle.
Coming off the worst start by a Red Sox pitcher in nearly 63
years when he gave up 12 runs in just 2 1/3 innings at Tampa Bay
on Monday, Tanner Houck allowed Thaiss’ wind-aided two-run homer
in the first inning before putting up zero runs over the next
five.
Brandon Eisert (1-0) got five outs to earn his first
major-league victory.
Red Sox reliever Zack Kelly (1-1) didn’t retire a batter and was
charged with three runs.
Abreu’s shot into Chicago’s bullpen off Sean Burke made it 3-2
in the first.
The 25-year-old Burke, who grew up an about an hour away in
Sutton, Massachusetts, gave up four runs, one earned, over five
innings.
Key moment
Red Sox reliever Liam Hendriks pitched in his first major league
game since June 9, 2023, giving up Vaughn’s two-run homer in the
eighth.
Key stat
Houck lowered his ERA from 9.16 after his initial four starts to
7.66.

RHP Jonathan Cannon (0-2, 4.42 ERA) is set to start for the
White Sox against Red Sox RHP Walker Buehler (2-1, 5.23) on
Monday morning with a scheduled 11:10 a.m. first pitch in
