White Sox outlast Red Sox 10

“Whenever you can start the game quick and fast, it’s an advantage”, said Eaton, who went 3-for-6 with two RBIs as the designated hitter.

It must have worked. He made his time at the plate look easy.

“I don’t hit the ball the farthest, so when it hits a gap or something you’ve got to have three right in your mind”, Eaton said.

It was the fifth straight win for the White Sox, coming off a four-game sweep at home over Cleveland. Chicago had nine of them: seven doubles and two triples.

Colorado had taken an 8-7 lead in the top of the ninth on a two-run drive by Carlos Gonzalez for his second homer of the game.

“The hustle double really was the one”, manager Robin Ventura said. “Those guys came out swinging in the first inning and put me in a bind right there”.

The Boston Red Sox traded injury-plagued outfielder Shane Victorino and cash considerations to the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for minor-league infielder Josh Rutledge, the Red Sox announced Monday. “It was very emotional”.

With the game tied at seven in the seventh, the White Sox scored two runs off Red Sox reliever Robbie Ross Jr.

Former Red Sox left-hander Matt Albers (1-0) picked up the victory in relief and right-hander David Robertson converted his 22nd save of the season.

J.B. Shuck doubled leading off and scored on Tyler Flowers’ single.

The 39-year-old slugger clobbered a pair of three-run homers and added an RBI single, sliding him into 38th overall on MLB’s career RBI list with 1,587. Shuck on a double play ball hit by Alexei Ramierz during the first inning of a baseball game at Fenway Park in Boston, Monday, July 27, 2015.

In his first start back, Kelly gave up four runs in 5 1-3 innings.

However, during Sunday night’s game against the Detroit Tigers, Holt injured his left knee after a first-inning single.

“He had a rough outing”.

“The fact that he was so elite in an offensive era, he was as dominate as anyone at any stage of the game’s history”, Red Sox manager John Farrell said over the weekend. “They were strikes, but the command within the strike zone was lacking”.

Sandoval doubled, took third on a Castillo groundout and scored on third baseman Tyler Saladino’s second error of the game. The Red Sox then got on the board first in the bottom of the fourth. Betts’ RBI single tied it before Saladino booted Hanley Ramirez’s bouncer with the bases loaded. Alejandro De Aza walked to bring the winning run to the plate in Hanigan, but he grounded out to third base to end it.

Cabrera doubled in his first two at-bats, giving him five consecutive multi-hit games, a career high.

White Sox: Slumping DH Adam LaRoche was out of the lineup, and banged-up CF Eaton was inserted as the DH.

– Craig Breslow relieved Kelly and completed the fourth inning unscathed, thanks in large part to a fantastic running catch in center field by Mookie Betts. I think for him, it’s getting that feeling back.

Adam Eaton could return for Chicago after missing Sunday’s win because of an ailing left shoulder.

– The Red Sox bullpen wasn’t much better, as it allowed runs in three straight innings – the fifth through the seventh.
