BOSTON (AP) — Adam Eaton had three hits and drove in two runs to lift the Chicago White Sox to a 10-8 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Monday night.
It was the fifth straight win for the White Sox, coming off a four-game sweep at home over Cleveland.
Eaton had a triple, double and single to key Chicago’s 15-hit night.
Boston’s David Ortiz homered for the third time in two games, hitting a two-run shot after a career-best, seven-RBI night that included two three-run homers in a win Sunday.
Mookie Betts added three hits and two RBIs for the Red Sox, who have lost 10 of 12.
Ortiz homered into the center-field bleachers, the 486th of his career, in the first, about 90 minutes after the club traded outfielder Shane Victorino to the Los Angeles Angels in a deal for a minor league infielder.
In a seesaw contest that saw both teams squander leads, the White Sox broke a 7-all tie in the seventh against Robbie Ross Jr. (0-1).
J.B. Shuck doubled leading off and scored on Tyler Flowers’ single. One out later, Eaton hit an RBI single.
Matt Albers (1-0) got five outs in scoreless relief. David Robertson pitched the ninth for his 22nd save.
Third baseman Tyler Saladino’s second error, when he bounced a throw past first, allowed Boston to take a 7-6 edge, but the White Sox tied it on Eaton’s RBI double.
Trailing 5-4 in the fourth, Boston scored twice to grab its first lead. Betts’ RBI single tied it before Saladino booted Hanley Ramirez’s bouncer with the bases loaded.
Boston’s Ryan Hanigan had a passed ball that scored a run, tying it at 6.
After wasting a 4-0 lead, the White Sox moved ahead on Jose Abreu’s RBI single.
White Sox starter John Danks gave up seven runs in 4 1-3 innings. He didn’t give up a run in his previous two starts, covering 12 2-3 innings.
The White Sox jumped ahead 4-0 in the first, scoring three before making an out. Eaton and Saladino opened the game with consecutive triples, Melky Cabrera had an RBI double and Shuck a run-scoring grounder. The fourth scored on Alexei Ramirez’s double-play grounder.
Boston’s Joe Kelly, making his second start after being demoted to the minors, gave up five runs — four earned — in 3 1-3 innings.
