Boston Red SoxvsChicago White Sox
BOS 8/CHW 1
Things to say
The Red Sox beat the White Sox 8-1 on the road at Rate Field.
01
opener
Boston just ran the White Sox out of the building, 8-1. Never really close. Sox bats jumped on them early and the pitching cruised from there.
02
key player
Whoever Boston threw out there was filthy, got into his stuff and had the heart of the order flailing all night. That's an eight-inning gem.
03
hot take
Honestly the White Sox are just tough to watch right now. One run at home? That's not a slump, that's the roster.
04
deep cut
What got me was Chicago's manager going to the pen too early again. Once you're down that many on a getaway day, just let the starter eat and save your arms.
05
exit
Anyway, Boston's rolling now. Curious if they can keep it up when they run into some real arms next series.
The recap
Boston went into Rate Field and made it look easy, hanging a crooked number on the White Sox in an 8-1 laugher. The bats did the heavy lifting up and down the order while Chicago's offense never got off the mat, scratching out one lonely run all afternoon.
Whoever Boston threw out there cruised, and by the middle innings this thing was academic. Getaway day, road win, and the Sox from the wrong Boston head home in a good mood.
