White Sox struggle as Red Sox dominate in series opener, 14-2

The Chicago White Sox suffered a blowout loss to the Boston Red Sox, falling 14-2 in the series opener held at Fenway Park on August 4. Davis Martin allowed nine runs, raising his ERA to 4.13 for the season. Boston's offense was relentless, with a grand slam by Caleb Durbin early in the game contributing to a six-run first inning. The White Sox managed to score two runs but struggled to find consistent offense against Patrick Sandoval, who earned the win. Manager Will Venable noted that Martin was tipping his pitches, which may have contributed to the Red Sox's success at the plate.
