White Sox - 012 000 000 - 3 10 1 Red Sox - 102 021 00x - 6 10 1The Red Sox won for the 10th time in their last 13 games. At the halfway point in the season, the defending champions are 44-37.
Eighty-eight wins is exactly 20 fewer victories than Boston celebrated last year in a historic season. It may not be enough to qualify for even the wild-card game.
Rafael Devers went 4-for-4 with three doubles and David Price allowed only two earned runs over six innings, with no walks and nine strikeouts.
Christian Vázquez drove in two runs in the third inning to tie the game at 3-3 and Xander Bogaerts snapped that tie two innings later with a long two-run homer.
Matt Barnes, Ryan Brasier, and Brandon Workman each struck out two batters in an inning of scoreless relief.
The start of the game was delayed 24 minutes on a rainy Tuesday night.
