White Sox 8, Red Sox 4

 

It's like a game script from last season: Boston's starting pitching sets the team up for a win, but the bullpen manages to salvage a loss.

Tanner Houck pitched six innings, giving up two early runs before settling down and fanning seven batters. The Red Sox get three runs on a first-inning Wilyer Abreu  homer, and an insurance run in the second on a Jarren Duran RBI single. Red Sox lead, 4-2. 

But in the seventh, Zack Kelly loads up the bases, including two runners on hit-by-pitches, and then Justin Wilson brings the runners home before getting the side out. A two-run  Andrew Vaughn homer in the 8th and another Chicago run brought in on another hit-by-pitch in the 9th seals the win for the White Sox and they win, 8-4. 

Boston's four-game win streak snapped. Tomorrow's game starts early (11-ish) because of Patriots Day and the Boston Marathon.
