THE BEST RED SOX TEAM EVAH! ...
J.D. Martinez's homer beats the White Sox
June 9, 2018
...
J.D. Martinez hit a tiebreaking two-run homer, David
Price pitched six solid innings to win his
fifth straight decision and the Red
Sox rebounded from a series-opening loss
with a 4-2 victory over the Chicago
White Sox. After looking completely fooled with an awkward swing to strike out on a
high, 93 mph fastball in the third inning, the Martinez hit a hanging changeup
into the Sox bullpen, pushing the Red Sox ahead 4-2 in the fifth.
Jackie Bradley Jr.
added a solo which avoided tying its season-high three-game losing streak.
Jose Abreu had
an RBI double for the White Sox.
Price (7-4) held Chicago scoreless after allowing two runs in the first. He
gave up five hits, struck out six and walked three, improving to 5-0 in his past
six starts with a 2.89 ERA.
Craig Kimbrel pitched
a perfect ninth for his 20th save.
Carlos Rodon took
the loss in his season debut, giving up four runs and six hits, striking out
seven and walking two in five innings. Three of Chicago’s infielders made an
error: shortstop Tim
Anderson booted a grounder, and second baseman Yoan
Moncada and first baseman Abreu each had one throwing.
The Sox had erased a 2-0 deficit by scoring a run in the first and second.
Bradley’s homer into the center field seats tied it after Eduardo
Nunez’s fielder’s choice grounder drove in a run.
Price gave up a run before getting an out in the first when Abreu doubled
off the Green Monster after a single and walk. Kevan
Smith’s groundout scored the second run. |
