Red Sox Secure Fifth Straight Win Over White Sox

Dominant Start from Jake Bennett

Jake Bennett tossed seven innings of shutout ball, allowing just four hits while striking out four and walking one. The right‑hander, who sits at 4‑3, has yielded more than two runs only twice in his last eight starts, underscoring his reliability. His performance helped the Red Sox secure a 5‑0 victory and extend their current streak to five straight wins.

Red Sox Offense Gears Up

Boston’s offense clicked at key moments, highlighted by Tsung‑Che Cheng’s first multi‑RBI game. Cheng opened the scoring with an RBI single in the third, then added a second RBI later in the frame. Carlos Narváez also contributed with an RBI single, while Ceddanne Rafaela drove in Cheng to pad the lead. The Red Sox tallied five runs while holding the White Sox to a single hit from Luisangel Acuña.

White Sox Resistance Falters

For Chicago, Luisangel Acuña went 2 for 2, but the offense stalled after an early wild pitch from Davis Martin. Anthony Seigler scored on the wild pitch, yet he exited the game after a collision at home plate with catcher Kyle Teel. The White Sox managed only that single run and fell to 0‑5 in the series.

Injuries Make Headlines

Willson Contreras, who had pledged to compete in the Home Run Derby, left with a left‑foot injury after fouling a ball off his foot in the third inning. Seigler’s plate collision also forced an early departure, potentially complicating the White Sox bullpen for the upcoming games.

Looking Ahead: Sandoval’s Red Sox Debut

The spotlight shifts to Patrick Sandoval, who was activated Monday after a two‑year recovery from Tommy John surgery. Sandoval is slated to make his Red Sox debut Thursday against Anthony Kay (**6‑3, 4.39 ERA**), a matchup that could set the tone for Boston’s pursuit of another win. The series finale promises a showdown between a fresh arm and a veteran stopper.

Boston’s momentum remains strong, having won 10 of 12 and 13 of its last 18 games. The five‑game winning streak not only boosts their playoff positioning but also showcases depth amid early‑season challenges. Fans can expect more excitement as the Red Sox continue to build on this run.
