ONE BIG TAKEAWAYBoston needed to start fast this series and establish momentum against the White Sox, who’ve struggled mightily over the last several weeks.
Jarren Duran took that initiative in stride, slapping a leadoff home run to right field. Duran, Enmanuel Valdez, Connor Wong, Dominic Smith and Ceddanne Rafaela each provided multi-RBI efforts as the young bats of Boston made statements for the Red Sox to keep the petal down at the plate.
The Red Sox tallied three home runs on the night from Duran, Valdez and Jamie Westbrook, the first of his MLB career.
Every Red Sox hitter in the starting lineup recorded a hit by the sixth innings as the offense just kept rolling. Boston continued a strong offensive stretch after Wednesday’s 9-0 win over the Atlanta Braves.
The Red Sox set a new season-high with 24 hits and posted six batters with multi-hit performances.
STARS OF THE GAME— Duran homered on the second pitch of the game in a four-hit effort.
