Chicago White Sox
· 2026-07-09
The Chicago White Sox lost 0-5 to the Boston Red Sox on July 8, with the Red Sox breaking through against White Sox starter Davis Martin with three runs in the third inning and two more in the fourth.
The Red Sox continued their recent surge with a convincing 5-0 victory, as left-hander Jake Bennett turned in seven scoreless innings, allowing just four hits while striking out four.
The White Sox managed just four hits in the game and have scored but a single run in the first two games of the series.
Despite the loss, the Chicago White Sox still lead the AL Central by one game over the Guardians, and are looking to bounce back with a win.
The Sox are now on a L2 streak, and their 47-44 record puts them 2nd in the American League.
The White Sox will counter with veteran left-hander Anthony Kay (6-3, 4.29 ERA) in the next game, as they look to turn their fortunes around.
Patrick Sandoval will take the ball for the Red Sox, making his debut with Boston and his first appearance in a game in any uniform following Tommy John surgery.
The Chicago White Sox are expected to monitor Sandoval's workload closely, as he has not appeared in a major league game since June 2024.
And the White Sox will be looking to Anthony Kay to stop the Red Sox's surge, after he allowed just one run on one hit across four innings in his last start.
But the Red Sox are confident, having won five in a row, and the White Sox will need to step up their game to take them down.
So the stage is set for an exciting matchup, with the Chicago White Sox looking to get back on track and the Red Sox looking to continue their winning streak.
The game will be played at Rate Field in Chicago, with a start time of 2:10PM EST, and will be broadcast on MLB.TV, NESN, and CSN.
