The White Sox were 32-44 and in fourth place in the AL Central when the Red Sox rolled into town on Friday. After taking the first two games, they ended up splitting the series, which Twins starter Joe Ryan capped off by throwing a complete-game shutout in the finale. The Minnesota Twins were 36-36 (and somehow in first place in the American League Central) when the Red Sox arrived on Monday. Losing to bad teams has emerged as another unfortunate motif.

The Red Sox are now 11-14 in series finales. Sunday was his best game of the weekend, as he went 2-for-4 with a run and RBI. He didn’t strike out once, and collected at least two hits in each of the three games against the team that drafted him seventh overall in 2015, promoted him to the majors barely a year later, won a ring with him in 2018, and traded him to the Kansas City Royals in February 2021. Chicago only collected seven hits to Boston’s five, but two of belonged to an old friend.Īndrew Benintendi had himself quite the revenge weekend. “He threw the ball well,” Alex Cora said of his starter.īrennan Bernardino and Kaleb Ort followed with a combined two scoreless innings. He maintained consistent velocityand induced 13 Swing & Misses. Over six innings, he allowed four earned runs on five hits, issued one walk, and struck out four. It wasn’t Kutter Crawford’s best day, but other than Luis Robert Jr., who homered off him twice, the Red Sox starter was solid.
