Red Sox 3, White Sox 2: Sale shuts down Sox, bullpen blows late lead

The White Sox spiral to 100 losses continued on Friday night in Boston, where they lost a 3-2 contest to the Red Sox after the offense flopped and the bullpen, as has been habit, couldn’t quite hang on to the end.

Touki Toussaint spun 6 1⁄3 innings of five-hit ball and yielding just a single run. He needed only 92 pitches to get through those six innings, working efficiently and taking a hard-luck no-decision in perhaps his best outing with the White Sox.

In the past, Touki has racked up strikeouts and base hits in seemingly equal volume, but six days after striking out eight, he punched out just two Red Sox hitters.
