Chicago White Sox win seventh in a row behind Jose Quintana

Xander Bogaerts and David Ortiz were the chief architects, getting the Sox back within a run in the bottom of the first with a single and a double, Ortiz falling behind 0-2 before laying off a number of outside pitches and clearing out a 98 miles per hour fastball when Sale finally tried to come in again for the RBI double.

Center fielder Adam Eaton (2-for-3, run scored) and shortstop Alexei Ramirez (2-for-4) were the only Chicago batsmen to record two hits against Boston, contrary to the opening three games of the series where it appeared as if every single White Sox batter was able to reach base at will. Abreu homered for the second time in three games, sending a 1-1 pitch into right field stands to put the White Sox up 2-0 after a half-inning.

Quintana (6-9) allowed two runs and six hits, striking out three and walking one.

The Chicago White Sox look to build on their impressive seven-game winning streak. Looking for his third hit, David Ortiz put his team on top with a hard-hit single to center for a 3-2 lead as Bogaerts scored. Craig Breslow relieved and left the bases loaded.

White Sox: Rookie Carlos Rodon makes his 14th career start and his 17th appearance as the White Sox return home Friday for the series opener against the Yankees with a 7:10 p.m. Connecticut first pitch at U.S. Cellular Field. Mike Napoli hit a high fly ball off the green monster, scoring Bogaerts. Betts was hurt tumbling over the wall in Tuesday’s game.

Pablo Sandoval left tonight’s game for a significantly more painful reason in comparison to last night’s dehydration issue.

Rusney displays power: The Red Sox got the power swing they had been waiting for from Castillo, who unloaded for a towering homer to left-center against Matt Albers in the seventh.

But unlike much of the past week, the Red Sox rallied in a game delayed 51 minutes at the start due to rain. Fans were given Dominican flags and postcard replicas of his Hall of Fame plaque with the words in Spanish. The Sox have a chance to run the table in their eight-game road trip that began with four wins in Cleveland when they face the Red Sox (44-58) with ace Chris Sale (9-5, 2.85) pitching against Red Sox right-hander Steven Wright (3-4, 4.78) Thursday night.

Rutledge was picked up from the Los Angeles Angels in Monday’s deal that involved outfielder Shane Victorino. Rizzo finished with three hits and Dexter Fowler went 2 for 4. He did warm up early in Wednesday night’s game. Wright had struggled, and the Red Sox were uncompetitive in losing the first three games of the set.
