Chicago White Sox rally from a 5-run deficit but fall to the Boston Red Sox 9-8 in 10 innings

When Chicago White Sox starter Dylan Cease left the mound during a seven-run third inning Saturday, the sellout crowd of 37,854 at Guaranteed Rate Field began to grow restless.

It happened again Saturday against the Boston Red Sox. The White Sox fought back from a five-run deficit to take an 8-7 lead on Yasmani Grandal’s fifth-inning home run.

Despite the loss, the White Sox magic number to clinch the American League Central was reduced to 11 after the Cleveland Indians were no-hit by the Milwaukee Brewers.
