Red Sox rock Sale, snap White Sox streak

Nothing has come of that rumor yet, but Napoli is finally showing some signs of life at the plate, which could draw interest from more teams over the next couple of days.

INF Jemile Weeks, who went 3-for-9 with an RBI in three games since being promoted from Triple-A Pawtucket, was designated for assignment. The lefthander has been a force for the Chicago White Sox all season.

3B Pablo Sandoval left the game due to dehydration. They had been outscored 72-25 in the first inning prior to this current run.

The duo struck again in the fifth, this time with some help from Hanley Ramirez. Sandoval, who played with Machi in San Francisco, gave his scouting report on the 33-year-old before the game.

Sale’s night got off to a rough start, as Xander Bogaerts drilled him with a line drive off the leg two batters into the game.

Eaton and Melky Cabrera both had three hits, including RBI singles.

1 run, 2 hits, 0 errors, 1 left on.

Chris Sale’s luck did not improve any in the sixth. That’ll do, Rusney. Assuming you do more of it, at least. Rutledge flied out to center fielder Eaton. Castillo’s blast was no fence scraper, as the ball carried and struck high off the back wall in center. It was certainly a mis-match on paper, but that’s why they play the games. Boston has alternated wins and losses in each of its last seven contests at Fenway Park (WLWLWLW).

Wright was drilled for a total of 10 runs and 11 hits in 9 1/3 innings while losing to the Angels and Tigers in his last two starts.

And from the offense, it was a big night from two of the names you’d expect, and one you’d desperately hope. They wanted to take home their longest winning streak since 2012 as they face the New York Yankees to start a six-game homestand. However, tonight was different. 3B Pablo Sandoval left the game because he was dehydrated. But rather than taking a pitch and a base, Panda went down swinging for strike three. X-rays during the game revealed no fracture. Bradley Jr. was hit by a pitch. Bradley was hit on the hip and stayed in the game. Chicago is rumored to have taken starting pitcher Jeff Samardzija off the market after climbing within 2 1/2 games of Minnesota for the AL’s second wild-card spot. Having scored 14 first-inning runs in the previous four games after being a awful first-inning team all season, the White Sox scored twice in the first in this game.Eaton hit a 3-2 pitch into the right field seats for the fourth leadoff homer of his career – all this season. He had plunked only four in 132 2/3 innings so far this season. He’s 7-4 on the road with a 2.05 ERA.
