Boston entered the matchup on a low note following Thursday’s performance against the Angels. Shohei Ohtani stifled the Red Sox in an 8-0 shutout, and Trevor Story heard boos from Sox fans after going 0-for-4 with four strikeouts.
Meanwhile, the White Sox played a great pair of games against the Cubs, resulting in their first three-game win streak since April 9-13, when they won four games consecutively. It looks like Matt Foster got his groove back.
Things are heating up as we continue this showdown. Here’s everything you need to know about the Chicago vs. Boston game on Peacock and NBC10 Boston this Sunday:
