The Boston Red Sox secured a 10-3 victory against the Chicago White Sox on Friday night, with Trevor Story leading the charge with two homers and six RBIs. Story had his 20th career multi-homer game, hitting both three-run shots with Rafael Devers and Alex Bregman on base. Hunter Dobbins pitched six strong innings, allowing just two runs and four hits while striking out six.
Ceddanne Rafaela and Carlos Narvaez also contributed with home runs for the Red Sox, while former Red Sox outfielder Andrew Benintendi hit a solo homer for the White Sox. White Sox starter Martin Perez left the game after three innings due to forearm soreness, while the team suffered their fifth straight loss.
The Red Sox opened a seven-game homestand with the win, wearing their City Connect jerseys in tribute to the upcoming Boston Marathon. With Bregman back in the lineup after being on the paternity list, Boston looked strong and never relinquished their lead. The team improved to 36-14 all-time when wearing their yellow uniform tops.
The two teams are set to face off again on Saturday, with Red Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet taking on White Sox right-hander Shane Smith. Crochet had an impressive performance against his former team in his last outing, taking a no-hitter into the eighth inning.
