| | | | | Good morning, Chicago. It's been a frustrating series so far for the White Sox in Boston, who lost 4-0 to the Red Sox in front of a sellout crowd of 37,517 at Fenway Park. The White Sox were limited to four hits, two by Miguel Vargas. They have been outscored 18-2 in the first two games of the series after being crushed 14-2 on Tuesday. It's the eighth time they've been shut out this season.

The Guardians lost 6-5 to the Mets in 10 innings on Wednesday.
