BOSTON (AP) — The Chica-
go White Sox had a tough
time scoring runs during
their weekend in Boston.
However, the pitching staff
came through to deliver a
big series victory over the
Red Sox. Reynaldo Lopez
pitched into the seventh
inning, Daniel Palka had
a two-run double and the
White Sox beat the Red Sox
5-2 Sunday to win two of
three games against one
of the majors' best teams.
Chicago took the set by a
8-6 margin, eking out a 1-0
win Friday against Red Sox
ace Chris Sale before los-
ing 4-2 on Saturday. White
Sox pitchers held Boston to
a combined .186 average
(18 for 97) in the series.
"It says a lot about our
pitching," Palka said. "I
don't know stats-wise, but
you look at the lineup — Nadal wins record-extending 11th title
that's the best lineup (in
baseball). Our pitching did
awesome."
