Orioles and the Yankees beo was supposed to start push back to give the rotation an extra day leading into those two very tough opponents who are battling for first place fits in his major league debut and taking on a team that has lost 111 games and slapped in the air to left field and right there to make the play O'Neal so one away and that'll bring up the struggling Luis Robert Jr on a line to left it'll drop for a base hit O'Neal will cut it off Robert will have a single dealing with that tight hamstring so maybe not quite as aggressive with his legs as we would normally see here now Ben and tendy has had an enormous series here at Fenway a pickoff over there and he's out Robert Junior straight too far and Fitz Cuts him down it's his first start in the big leagues his head is just spinning and he's just calmly stepped off through the first base and for Big League debut you know what's going on in his mind 32 and on the ground to the right side Valdez up and over that's a memorable start you get a pick right away like that Red Sox coming up R flexen going to the mound and he really would love a team win if not a personal win win on for his 27th start looking for his third win is er of 536 that is jiren lines one into left field that's a base hit kind of an excuse me sought off swing but he bloops it over the head of the third baseman Vargas and Duran is aboard to begin the bottom of the first so good start and here is des pitch and this one is lined to center field robertt junr we'll track it down for the first out in this bottom of the first inning here is Willer Abra Durant and a liner that gets right through the first basem right past vaugh Durant had stopped at Second he's heading into third they're going to wave him in here comes the throw home and he is going to be out by a T and A Bru down to Second Red Sox trying to get Ultra aggressive and two down here's Tyler O'Neal looking to render that moot there goes the runner as Flex it steps off man Boston's getting silly and the white socks were well aware what's going on here in this first inning one on one out here's lenine Sosa with his heartbeat swinging a Miss on the sweeper and he collects the K and there's number one for Richard Fitz fam's had a chance to do this a lot early stand up and cheer gra was the best sweeper he's thrown by a mile for his first Big League strikeout set him up with a fast ball and then the wipe out slider down and the way two down with a runner on Valdez will scoop that one up and make the play one man left that'll bring up Conor Wong with two down as a swinging a drive by Wong way back there it's carrying carrying and gone up into the monster seats his 13th and the Red Sox on the board one to nothing that was gone at the crack of the bat for Conan 41 went down and got it looked like a little was a little cutter than he likes but it was down but still Wong goes down gets it up to second base goes Robert Jr back to- back here for Chicago this is what your second time around right you saw the kid see what the adjustment is for fits here now second time through and ruon the batter beat out an infield hit in the second four hits now for the White Sox and a Fly ball Centerfield aggressive there vaugh Durant backing up to the warning track the runner at second will advance that'll be Robert Jr down to third one away as Robert goes from second to third so one away but Runners on the corners now for Cory Lee comebacker and Fitz has it down a second got an out there on First and double play he's out of the inning and he started it one to nothing Boston yet again the leadoff man is aboard against Fitz in the Red Sox wave add and Miss struck him out got him with a breaking ball one gone this part of the order he's getting his second look at him and the three 0 and he will walk him first and second with one away and another tight spot here another ground ball here story gets the back for out the first and another double play so the Red Sox in backto back Innings turning two and get out of the inning it is a single for Connor Wong and they have two on with nobody out Tristan is a frustrated hitter at the moment swinging butt Lee out from behind there they'll make the play Runners advance to second and third and the first down of the inning so a great chance for the Red Sox to add some more here in front one to nothing big chance now for Trevor story story ripped a base hit in the left center field his last time still gets him on another change up nice job by flexon there's now two down one two yes sir Chris flexen backto back strikeouts as the Red Sox ran Runners at second and third it is indeed an error on Tristan cases and the tying run is in scoring position position Robert is two for two he bats with a man at second and nobody out third hit of the day for Luis Robert Jr and they're going to hold Del Loach at third as that one was hit shallow into right and jley decides that you know what nobody out in the inning we will just leave him at third base especially when you have Andrew benintendi coming up to the plate the hottest hitter right now on the white sock pitch to benintendi and it's clubbed and stopped by Valdez at second the Run does come in to score as Ben and tendi has retired at first a run batted in and we're all tied at one of piece here in the sixth inning so Ben and tendi and rbii ground out ties the game at one and it does move Robert to second base and an unearned run Delo should have been out to begin the inning but a hard grounder got through kasus and put him at second base and eventually he comes into tie the game at one still some work to be done with Andrew vaugh at the plate the cleanup man and the goahead run it second going to be a fly ball driven into right field backing up it's a bro to get under he'll make the grab to Runner will advance Robert moving on down to third two down and here comes the manager he's got weer ready to go Richard Fitz in his major league debut today pitches deep into the sixth inning in a 1-1 game that run frankly should not have scored it's an unearned run and his family they are delighted he gets a nice Ovation here at Fenway Park and Greg weisser comes on for the 52nd time but he inherits the go-ahead run just 90 ft away Cory Lee steps in r on third two down two- pitch slowly hit barehanded by the pitcher weisser and he boots it the run will score for the socks as Robert Jr crosses home plate giving the white socks their first lead today two to one here in the six one gone in the sixth flexon and his team have done nothing but lose for the longest time but but a hit two to one on this Sunday afternoon and here's rafie Des this one is belted to right field but a good Jump by Fletcher and he makes the diving catch he has been one of the best fielders in Major League Baseball this season Dominic moving to his right and he puts it away here's will your base's empty two down swinging a shot that's a bullet this ball is back and gone a Bray who just leaned on one for his 15th home run of the Year and that ties it at two that had that sound L at the crack of the bat instantaneously gone and that's a big shot here in the six tie this thing up Red Sox hoping that this man Zack Kelly will make it three really good ones in a row two to2 just have to win this game from Chicago the go-ahead run is in scoring position Zach Kelly wobbling a little bit so now two on with one out and here comes Dominic Fletcher that one slapped and it's a fair ball to the left field Corner Ramos he will score and the socks take a 32 lead here in the ninth Dominic Fletcher coming through you got to keep it right where it is they're going to put sheets on and they have filled him up here with only one down and Jacob Amaya the batter he's had a long day 0 for three double play and a strikeout Amaya blooper will it fall yes it will Nikki Lopez say he will scoot home and the white socks plate two here in the ninth to take a two-run lead still loaded still only one out it's one and one on Delo on the ground hopping over that is Amaya as it gets into right field Fletcher scores the plate of the plate it gets away Gavin scores White Sox score four here in the ninth inning and did the Red Sox get caught looking forward to their series against Baltimore and the Yankees four runs in for the white socks and here comes Luis Guerrero center field Duran underneath at the warning track makes the catch tagging and scoring from third is jakaya and that's the fifth run scored by the white socks here in this ninth inning a new pitcher on the out Justin Anderson comes out for the 48th time he's got a big lead and three outs to get guess trying to spark something with two outs Connor w here got him swinging ball game the white sock win it with a five Run ninth 7 to2 a painful defeat because the Red Sox again miss an opportunity to gain some ground on the wild card
