The Chicago White Sox ended their eight-game losing streak in dominant fashion Friday night, crushing the Boston Red Sox 11–1 at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Michael A. Taylor led the way with three hits and three runs scored, while Omar Narváez drove in three runs as the White Sox posted their highest run total of the season. Chicago tallied 12 hits in total, with Miguel Vargas, Lenyn Sosa, and Jacob Amaya each contributing two RBIs.
The Red Sox imploded defensively, committing five errors that led to six unearned runs for the White Sox. Boston now leads MLB with 19 errors in just 15 games, a glaring issue that continues to cost them games.

- Sean Newcomb (0–2) took the loss for Boston, giving up six runs — only two of which were earned — in four innings.
Key Moment:
The turning point came in the fourth inning. With one out and a runner on first, Triston Casas misplayed a routine grounder off the bat of Narváez. The White Sox capitalized with four unearned runs in the inning, thanks to a Vargas double and RBI singles from Luis Robert Jr. and Lenyn Sosa.
