Hanley Ramirez is moving to first base next year

Unfortunately, Wade Miley threw 6 2/3 innings on Tuesday.

The Boston Red Sox have recently encountered a logjam in their outfield. Red Sox 3, White Sox 0.

If Ramirez were to learn first base the beauty of it is that he could still play left field if the Red Sox needed him to. He was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. Red Sox 4, White Sox 2. Miley walked one while striking out three in the outing.

Thompson did the most damage against Miley on the night, as he was actually the only Chicago hitter to get an extra-base hit on a night that saw Miley allow 11 singles.

The Chicago bullpen protected the one-run lead for the final two innings.

Ramirez was spotted fielding grounders and making throws at first base ahead of Tuesday night’s game against the White Sox, which prompted the questions from Silverman and some other Boston beat writers. Pablo Sandoval went home with the ball, resulting in a rundown in which Thompson was eventually tagged out.

Melky Cabrera added an RBI single in the seventh for Chicago, which had 15 hits. Bradley Jr. grounded out to first baseman Abreu. Mookie Betts lined a double into the left-field corner, scoring Josh Rutledge. The start was the third in his last six appearances that Miley has allowed nine hits or more.

Chicago starter Carlos Quintana worked six innings and struck out six while scattering seven hits and allowed three earned runs. Ortiz struck out. T.Shaw grounded into fielder’s choice, second baseman C.Sanchez to shortstop Al.Ramirez, Sandoval scored, Bogaerts out.

2 runs, 3 hits, 0 errors, 1 left on.
