Game Summary
The Boston Red Sox secured a convincing 10-3 win over the Chicago White Sox on Friday night, thanks to a stellar performance by Trevor Story. Story went 3 for 4 with two homers and six RBIs, leading the Red Sox to their third straight victory.
Hunter Dobbins pitched six strong innings, allowing two runs — one earned — and four hits while striking out six in his second career big-league start.
Player Performance
Story had his 20th career multi-homer game, with both being three-run shots and coming with Rafael Devers and Alex Bregman — the two players directly ahead of him in Boston’s lineup — on base. Ceddanne Rafaela hit his first homer of the season for the Red Sox, and Carlos Narvaez got his first career home run.
Opposition Performance
Former Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi accounted for Chicago’s first run with a solo homer in the fourth. The White Sox managed six hits against Dobbins and two Red Sox relievers en route to their fifth straight loss. White Sox starter Martin Perez endured a long bottom of the first and was lifted after three innings due to left forearm soreness.
Team Updates
The Red Sox activated Bregman from the paternity list before the game. The All-Star third baseman missed just one game.
Key Moment
On the first pitch of his first at-bat, Story atoned for the popup he dropped in the top of the first inning with his fourth home run of the season. Boston had a 3-0 lead and never looked back on the way to opening a seven-game homestand with a win.
Key Stat
Wearing their City Connect jerseys that feature a color scheme done as a tribute to the Boston Marathon that takes place Monday, the Red Sox improved to 36-14 all-time when donning the yellow uniform tops.

Conclusion
