Red Sox reactions: Winning streak reaches four as road trip rolls on

6) The Red Sox took an aggressive approach on the basepaths, but it didn’t work out well for them. Willson Contreras tried to steal second in the third only to be thrown out by former Red Sox prospect, catcher Kyle Teel. In the fifth, it was Wilyer Abreu’s turn. After being hit by the pitch to lead off the inning, Abreu made off for second, but was also gunned down. Finally, Andruw Monasterio went for it after a one-out single in the sixth and slid in safely ahead of the throw for his second steal of the season.

7) It’s astounding to see the number of former Red Sox players populating the White Sox’ roster. Of the 26 players on Chicago’s active roster, seven previously played for the Red Sox, including a number from the last couple of seasons. The list includes: Andrew Benintendi, Braden Montgomery, Sean Newcomb, Chris Murphy, Jordan Hicks, Chase Meidroth and Kyle Teel.

8) In the middle game of a three-game set here, the Red Sox will send LHP Jake Bennett (3-3, 3.10) to the mound to face RHP Davis Martin (9-3, 3.08) at 7:40 p.m.
