REYNALDO LOPEZ |
THE BEST RED SOX TEAM EVAH! ...
Reynaldo Lopez stifles the Sox' bats
June 10,
2018 ... The Chicago
White Sox pitching staff came through to
deliver a big series victory over the Red
Sox.
Reynaldo Lopez pitched
into the seventh inning, Daniel
Palka had a two-run double and the White Sox beat the
Red Sox, 5-2, to win two of three games. White Sox pitchers held the Sox to a
combined .186 average (18 for 97) in the series.
Jose Abreu, Tim
Anderson and Trayce
Thompson added one RBI apiece for Chicago, which has
won six of its last 10 overall.
Lopez (2-4) gave up two runs and six hits while striking out six with three
walks in 6 1/3 innings to improve to 1-3 in eight road starts this season. Joakim
Soria pitched a scoreless ninth for his eighth save.
Red Sox starter Rick
Porcello (8-3) gave up three runs and five hits over
six innings, walking three and striking out five.
Abreu ripped an RBI double to left field on the 11th pitch of the game,
scoring Yoan
Moncada from first to put Chicago ahead 1-0. Devers
tied it with his RBI single to center in the second after J.D.
Martinez’s leadoff double.
Porcello hit Matt
Davidson on the hand with a fastball to load the bases
with one down in the third. Omar
Narvaez popped out to shortstop the next at-bat, but
Porcello walked Tim Anderson to force in a run and put Chicago ahead 2-1.
Anderson scored on Thompson’s one-out groundout in the sixth for a 3-1 lead.
Moncada booted Eduardo
Nunez’s two-out grounder to second in the seventh that
would have allowed the White Sox to escape a bases-loaded jam, bringing the Red
Sox within a run. Palka’s double to left with two out in the ninth sealed the
win. |
