Red Sox Undefeated Road Trip
Boston Red Sox Shutout White Sox 5-0, Maintain Undefeated Road Trip with Rookie Pitcher's Gem
The Boston Red Sox shut out the Chicago White Sox 5-0 on Wednesday, staying undefeated on their nine-game road trip. It was Boston's 10th win in their last 12 games, according to The News Tribune.
The victory was even more impressive given that Boston lost two infielders to injury in the third inning. The team played through it and still cruised to a comfortable win.
Jake Bennett Deals a Four-Hit Gem
Rookie left-hander Jake Bennett was the story on the mound. He combined with two relievers to hold Chicago to just four hits all game. The White Sox never threatened to score, Charlotte Observer reported.
Bennett's strong outing gave Boston's bullpen an easy path to close things out. The shutout was a total team effort on the pitching side.
Tsung-Che Cheng Drives Boston's Offense
Tsung-Che Cheng was the offensive star for Boston. He knocked in two runs with a pair of RBI singles, giving the Red Sox the early cushion they needed, according to Ledger-Enquirer.
Boston finished with five runs on the night. The offense did enough to support a dominant pitching performance and keep the road trip perfect.
Injuries Could Not Stop Boston's Momentum
The Red Sox lost two infielders to injury in the third inning. That kind of setback can derail a team, but Boston kept its composure and never let up, Herald Sun reported.
The win shows how deep this Boston roster is right now. Even shorthanded, the Red Sox found a way to finish strong on the road.
White Sox Struggles Deepen as Losing Streak Grows
Chicago has now lost five of its last seven games. The White Sox have not won a game since June 10, according to Kansas City Star.
The White Sox managed only four hits in the loss. Their offense has gone quiet at a tough time, and there is little sign of a turnaround on the horizon.
