Final: Red Sox 14, White Sox 2 - Red Sox score six runs in multiple innings

The Boston Red Sox extend their win streak to six games with a dominant 14-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox.

After being heavy buyers in yesterday's trade deadline, the Red Sox proved their willingness to contend by scoring 14 runs against the AL Central leading White Sox. 

Boston started the game with a powerful first inning. After an RBI base hit from Willson Contreras, Caleb Durbin smashed a left field grand slam against White Sox starter Davis Martin. 

In the next at-bat, Jarren Duran gave Boston its second consecutive home run for the sixth run of the first inning. The Red Sox recorded five consecutive hits which resulted in the six runs. 

This wasn't the only inning the Red Sox scored six. In the sixth inning, Boston poured on six additional runs, as Andruw Monasterio, Ceddanne Rafaela, Contreras and Masataka Yoshida all recorded RBI base hits against Erick Fedde.

Wilyer Abreu also played a key role in Boston's offensive onslaught. The right fielder recorded two solo home runs in tonight's contest, including Boston's 14th and final run in the eighth inning.

Patrick Sandoval picked up the win, pitching five innings while allowing two earned runs. Despite allowing six hits and four walks, the left hander tied his season high in innings pitched while limiting the White Sox to just one extra base hit.

Red Sox fans were able to witness the debut of left-handed reliever Erik Miller, who was acquired from the Giants in yesterday's trade deadline. In one at-bat, Miller struck out Tristan Peters to get the Red Sox out of the sixth inning.

Ian White, who the Red Sox acquired from the Braves, also had an at-bat in the eighth inning, and took Rafaela's place in center field to finish the game.

The Red Sox will continue their series against the White Sox tomorrow at 7:10 p.m. with Sonny Gray on the mound.
