Chicago Defeated By Red Sox, 4-2
Boston got a strong outing from Ben Lively as the Red Sox defeated the Chicago White Sox, 4-2, at Fenway Park. Lively, the winner, moves to 6-4. He threw 5 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 2 and giving up 4 walks. Alexis Diaz notched his 28th save in 33 chances.

Nolan Jones had a big solo home run for the Red Sox in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Boston leading 3-2 and the bases empty, he sized up a slider from Zac Gallen, who is tied for 4th in the AL with a 3.51 ERA, and punished it. The result was his 15th home run of the season, which put the Red Sox on top, 4-2.

In postgame comments to the Boston Citizen, Jones said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."

The triumph puts Boston at 73-70 for the season.
