Chicago White Sox
The White Sox won again on Saturday, 3–1, and they will go for the sweep on Mother’s Day afternoon (first pitch will actually come in the AM at 11:35 in a national TV spot via Peacock).
Jose Abreu and Luis Robert each drove in a run in the tenth inning after Chicago tied the game in the ninth with a run off of Hansel Robles.
Dylan Cease, who jumped Dallas Keuchel by a day in the rotation, pitched well but was on the hook before the White Sox tied it at one in the ninth.
Leury Garcia’s sacrifice fly tied the game against Robles in the ninth. Tim Anderson had two more hits of his own to stay red-hot for Chicago.
You can read about Keuchel’s struggles this season in Friday’s write-up for Saturday’s game, when it was initially thought Keuchel could start.
Boston Red Sox
Boston just can’t get out of its own way, though.
Rafael Devers drove in the game’s first run in the fifth inning with a double off the Green Monster.
Boston left Devers on second and another man on third in the inning, however, and didn’t score again.
The runner who scored against Robles led off the ninth inning with a walk. Matt Barnes took the loss in extra innings.
Nick Pivetta started and pitched as well as he has this season. He gave up five hits and struck out eight without issuing a walk in six innings.
Boston put runners on second and third with one out in the bottom of the ninth but Bobby Dalbec watched a third strike and Trevor Story popped up on the first pitch he saw to end the inning.
Liam Hendriks made quick work of Boston in the bottom of the tenth. He has five saves in a row, a Chicago franchise record.
