Noah Schultz struggles again as punchless White Sox fall to Red Sox

Red Sox lefty Payton Tolle did a great job attacking the White Sox with his fastball. He allowed two hits and one walk in six innings and struck out six.

"He’s got a really good fastball, and he commanded it well and really beat us in the zone with it," White Sox manager Will Venable said. "Saw a lot of foul balls; just weren’t able to move anything forward. Then he was able to get to the offspeed stuff, as well."

After Tolle left, the White Sox loaded the bases with no outs in the seventh but scored only once. Kyle Teel drove in the run on a fielder's choice. The Red Sox then turned to right-hander Justin Slaten, who struck out pinch hitter Jacob Gonzalez and Tristan Peters to end the threat.

Sam Antonacci had three of the White Sox' hits, all against left-handers (lefty Danny Coulombe followed Tolle). He entered the game batting .149 against lefties.
