White Sox - 020 001 200 - 5  8  0
Red Sox   - 010 011 111 - 6 12  0

Marco Hernández beat out a ground ball single to the shortstop hole, giving the Red Sox a two-out, walk-off victory over the White Sox on Monday night. It was the Red Sox's second walk-off win in four games. This short six-game homestand began with a 10-inning win over the Blue Jays last Friday

Andrew Benintendi got the ninth-inning rally started with a double (his second of the game) down the right field line off Jace Fry. J.D. Martinez struck out and Rafael Devers grounded to first, with Benintendi moving to third on the second out.

Xander Bogaerts was intentionally walked, as was Jackie Bradley, once Fry fell behind 3-1. Hernández poked a 1-0 pitch to the left side. White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson ranged to his right and made an off-balance throw. The ball took a hop near the bag and Jose Abreu couldn't scoop it. Benintendi scored the winning run. (Anderson also went 0-for-5 at the plate with four strikeouts.)

Boston scored one run in each of the final five innings. Michael Chavis walked with the bases loaded to tie the game at 3-3 in the sixth.The White Sox then led 5-3, but Mookie Betts led off the seventh with his 13th home run of the year and Eduardo Núñez - who had tied the game at 2-2 with a one-out single in the fifth - tied things again at 5-5 in the eighth with a two-out single.

Bradley, who homered in the second inning, also walked three times.

AL East: The Yankees nearly blew a 10-2 lead, but held off the Blue Jays 10-8. MFY –, TBR 5.0, BOS 8.0.
