White Sox complete sweep of Red Sox at Fenway, win 6th straight game overall to climb above .500
BOSTON — Dallas Keuchel halted his threestart losing streak with six solid innings, Jose Abreu hit a two-run double and the Chicago White Sox beat the Boston Red Sox 3-2 Sunday for their season-high sixth straight victory.
Leury Garcia added an RBI single for the White Sox (14-13), who moved over .500 for the first time since April 20 and completed a 5-0 road trip, including three wins at Fenway Park.
Christian Vazquez had an RBI single for Boston (10-19), which has lost a season-most five straight and 14 of 18.
Keuchel (2-3) allowed two runs on eight hits, fanning five and walking one after posting a 9.90 ERA in his previous three starts.
Rookie left-hander Bennett Sousa got pinch-hitter Kevin Plawecki on a fly to center for the final out, recording his first big league save with the potential tying run at second. Regular closer Liam Hendricks was unavailable due to his recent workload.
Abreu, who had a go-ahead double in Saturday’s 3-1 comeback victory, sent his double down the left-field line in the third against fill-in starter Tanner Houck (2-3) after Garcia’s hit pushed Chicago in front.
J.D. Martinez had a run-scoring groundout and Vazquez followed with an RBI single for Boston in the sixth.
Houck gave up three runs in2 ⅔ innings after replacing scheduled starter Michael Wacha. Wacha was placed on the 15-day injured list after experiencing soreness on his left side after his last bullpen session.
Yoan Moncada, on the IL since the last week of spring training with a strained right oblique, is expected back Monday. RHP Joe Kelly, on the IL with a right biceps injury, is also ready to return.
Plate ump Ron Kulpa had to leave in the fourth after taking a foul off the mask that dropped him to the ground. Trainers from both teams rushed out, Red Sox catcher Vazquez turned to help and the rest of the umpiring crew came to the plate. Kupla stood before walking off on his own. First-base ump Marty Foster moved to the plate after a 20-minute delay.
The White Sox open a three-game series at home against Cleveland on Monday.
