Red Sox 16, White Sox 3: Pitching staff falters
Scraping for highlights: The White Sox got on the board when José Abreu homered in the fourth inning.The pitching staff just did not have it tonight, and the Red Sox offense pounced early and often. As a result, the Red Sox (20-22) crushed the White Sox (21-21) in the series opener at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Boston got started as early as possible, as starter Dylan Cease’s first pitch of the game was a fastball over the heart of the plate. Enrique Hernández took advantage of the mistake by launching his second home run of the season. With one pitch in the books, the Red Sox had a 1-0 lead — and they were not done.
