In the series finale, the White Sox took down the Red Sox 7-3 to split the 4 game series. Eduardo Rodriguez threw 5.2 innings, allowing 6 runs but only 3 being earned. It was far from his best outing of the year but he pitched well enough to keep us around, unfortunately the defense allowed the 3 unearned to score.
Bats were relatively quiet, except for Travis Shaw, who had 2 2Bs and his 19th HR of the year, a solo shot.
The Red Sox head to Texas for a weekend series against the struggling Rangers. The first matchup features Rick Porcello vs Yu Darvish.
