This victory marks a significant turnaround for the team, ending their worst road start in team history.<\/p>\n<h2>Game Highlights<\/h2>\n<p>Miguel Vaughn hit a two-run homer, and pinch-hitter Edgar Quero added a go-ahead, two-run single to secure the win for the White Sox. Matt Thaiss also contributed with a two-run shot. On the other hand, Wilyer Abreu hit a three-run homer for the Red Sox.<\/p>\n<h2>Turning Point<\/h2>\n<p>After pinch-hitter Brooks Baldwin\u2019s run-scoring safety squeeze sliced it to 4-3 in the seventh, Quero delivered his single up the middle, shifting the momentum in favor of the White Sox. This pivotal moment in the game changed the course of the outcome.<\/p>\n<h2>Pitching Performance<\/h2>\n<p>Tanner Houck, coming off the worst start by a Red Sox pitcher in nearly 63 years, allowed Thaiss\u2019 wind-aided two-run homer in the first inning before putting up zero runs over the next five. Brandon Eisert got five outs to earn his first major-league victory. Red Sox reliever Zack Kelly didn\u2019t retire a batter and was charged with three runs.<\/p>\n<h2>Notable Moments<\/h2>\n<p>Abreu\u2019s shot into Chicago\u2019s bullpen off Sean Burke made it 3-2 in the first. The 25-year-old Burke, who grew up an hour away in Sutton, Massachusetts, gave up four runs, one earned, over five innings.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Moment<\/h3>\n<p>Red Sox reliever Liam Hendriks pitched in his first major league game since June 9, 2023, giving up Vaughn\u2019s two-run homer in the eighth. This marked a significant moment in Hendriks&#8217; return to the game.<\/p>\n<h3>Key Stat<\/h3>\n<p>Houck lowered his ERA from 9.16 after his initial four starts to 7.66. This improvement in ERA is a positive sign for Houck\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n<h3>Up Next<\/h3>\n<p>RHP Jonathan Cannon (0-2, 4.42 ERA) is set to start for the White Sox against Red Sox RHP Walker Buehler (2-1, 5.23) on Monday morning with a scheduled 11:10 a.m. first pitch in Boston\u2019s annual Patriots\u2019 Day game.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>The White Sox&#8217;s victory over the Red Sox is a crucial win, ending their worst road start in team history. The team&#8217;s performance, highlighted by Vaughn&#8217;s two-run homer and Quero&#8217;s go-ahead single, demonstrates their capability to turn their season around.<\/p>\n<h2>FAQs<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Q: Who hit a two-run homer for the White Sox?<br \/>\nA: Miguel Vaughn hit a two-run homer for the White Sox.<\/li>\n<li>Q: Who added a go-ahead, two-run single for the White Sox?<br \/>\nA: Pinch-hitter Edgar Quero added a go-ahead, two-run single.<\/li>\n<li>Q: What is the scheduled time for the next game between the White Sox and the Red Sox?<br \/>\nA: The next game is scheduled for 11:10 a.m. on Monday morning.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>BOSTON (AP) \u2014 Andrew Vaughn hit a two-run homer, pinch-hitter Edgar Quero added a go-ahead, two-run single and the Chicago White Sox snapped a six-game losing streak with an 8-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox Sunday, ending their worst road start in team history.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Matt Thaiss added two-run shot for Chicago, which lost its first eight road games.<\/p>\n<p>Wilyer Abreu hit a three-run homer for the Red Sox, who had their four-game win streak halted.<\/p>\n<p>After pinch-hitter Brooks Baldwin\u2019s run-scoring safety squeeze sliced it to 4-3 in the seventh, Quero delivered his single up the middle.<\/p>\n<p>Coming off the worst start by a Red Sox pitcher in nearly 63 years when\u00a0he gave up 12 runs in just 2 1\/3 innings at Tampa Bay on Monday, Tanner Houck allowed Thaiss\u2019 wind-aided two-run homer in the first inning before putting up zero runs over the next five.<\/p>\n<p>Brandon Eisert (1-0) got five outs to earn his first major-league victory.<\/p>\n<p>Red Sox reliever Zack Kelly (1-1) didn\u2019t retire a batter and was charged with three runs.<\/p>\n<p>Abreu\u2019s shot into Chicago\u2019s bullpen off Sean Burke made it 3-2 in the first.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old Burke, who grew up an about an hour away in Sutton, Massachusetts, gave up four runs, one earned, over five innings.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key moment<\/h4>\n<p>Red Sox reliever\u00a0Liam Hendriks pitched in his first major league game since June 9, 2023, giving up Vaughn\u2019s two-run homer in the eighth.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key stat<\/h4>\n<p>Houck lowered his ERA from 9.16 after his initial four starts to 7.66.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Up next<\/h4>\n<p>RHP Jonathan Cannon (0-2, 4.42 ERA) is set to start for the White Sox against Red Sox RHP Walker Buehler (2-1, 5.23) on Monday morning with a scheduled 11:10 a.m. first pitch in Boston\u2019s annual Patriots\u2019 Day game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>White Sox End Worst Road Start in Team History The Chicago White Sox have finally broken their losing streak on the road, defeating the Boston Red Sox 8-4.
