Tyler O'Neill ripped two home runs and combined with Romy Gonzalez for six of the 10 Boston Red Sox hits in a 7-5 win Saturday over the visiting Chicago White Sox. O'Neill's first round-tripper highlighted a four-run first inning for the Red Sox (72-70), who have won the first two contests in the three-game series. Gonzalez, meanwhile, also had three hits, including an RBI double, scored twice and stole three bases to support starter Cooper Criswell (6-4), who pitched five innings of two-run ball. Trevor Story made his return to the Boston lineup after being sidelined since April 6 due to a left shoulder injury.
After a day off on Thursday, the Boston Red Sox will host the Chicago White Sox on Friday night at Fenway Park for their first of three games over the weekend. For this matchup, Boston will send Nick Pivetta to the mound while Chicago will counter with Davis Martin.

The Chicago White suffered yet another dispiriting loss on Tuesday night, as they were shut out in a 9-0 defeat at the hands of the Baltimore Orioles. Along the way, Grady Sizemore and Andrew Benintendi were ejected by home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt for arguing balls and strikes, and it led to a savage response from Ozzie Guillen. In the top of the sixth, both Sizemore and Benintendi were ejected for arguing a pair of strike calls that clearly appeared to be balls. Both guys were frustrated, but so was Guillen, who ripped Wendelstedt for ejecting Sizemore and Benintendi by calling the umpire fat and saying he would have punched him in the face if he was at the game.
