The bullpen did not perform up to its normal level, but the solid pitching of Garrett Whitlock guided the Boston Red Sox (34-29) to a 7 to 4 win over the Chicago White Sox (29-35).

Boston starter Garrett Whitlock (3-4)picked up the victory by limiting the opposition to just 1 earned run on 5 hits and 3 walks while striking out 5 in 7 innings of play; Game Score 65. Isiah Campbell was tagged for 2 earned runs on 3 hits in 1 inning of work, while the normally ultra-reliable Liam Hendricks permitted an earned run on 2 hits, 2 walks, and a wild pitch in 1 inning of play. At the plate, Jarren Duran (2 for 4, Double, Homerun, 2 Runs, 2 RBI, Hit-by-Pitch), Kyle Teel (2 for 5, Homerun, Run, 3 RBI), Pablo Reyes (2 for 3, Run, 2 Walks, 2 Stolen Bases) had a fine day.

Taking the loss for the White Sox was Mike Clevinger (1-7) who was knocked around for 6 earned runs on 7 hits, 1 walk, and 1 hit batsman in 6 2/3 innings of play; Game Score 39. Reliever Matt Foster had a shaky appearance in which he allowed 1 earned run on 3 hits, 1 walk, 1 wild pitch, and 1 hit batsman. Prelander Berroa covered the final inning without allowing any further damage. Nicky Lopez (3 for 4, Run, RBI, Stolen Base), Eloy Jimenez (1 for 4, Homerun, Run, 3 RBI, Sacrifice Fly), and Edgar Quero (2 for 3, Double, Run, Walk) played well in the defeat.
