BOSTON -- After the two teams combined for five early runs, it looked as if a slugfest was brewing, but Boston starter Doug Fister found a groove and Chris Young backed the effort with two homers and five RBIs as the Red Sox completed a four-game sweep of the White Sox with Sunday's 6-3 win at Fenway Park.

Red Sox pitching managed to hold the White Sox to just five hits over the final seven innings, helping the American League East leaders capture their sixth straight win. Striking out a season-high seven in his 6 1/3 innings, Fister nailed down his second straight victory.
