The turning point came in the ninth inning when Rafael Devers sparked a rally with one of his four hits during this game, driving home an essential insurance run that sealed Chicago’s fate. This late-game surge demonstrated Boston's depth and determination under pressure.


White Sox's Efforts


Despite their loss, Chicago put up a commendable fight against Boston’s formidable lineup. The White Sox managed to keep pace until late into the game thanks largely to Eloy Jiménez’s efforts at bat; however, they struggled against Boston's dominant pitching staff which limited them to just four hits overall.

Chicago’s lone run came during an eighth-inning push where they capitalized on three consecutive hits but were unable to sustain momentum beyond that point due primarily due strong defensive play from Boston fielders who maintained perfect fielding percentage throughout all nine innings played today.
