Red Sox-White Sox Live: Xander Bogaerts Error In Bottom Of Ninth Gives Chicago 2-1 Win

Final White Sox 2-1: The Red Sox lost in a tough way after a long, long game.

Burke Badenhops leadoff walk to Alejandro De Aza was wiped off, thanks to A.J. Pierzynskis strong toss to second to catch him stealing.

Alexei Ramirez then knocked a one-out single, and Badenhop struck out Tyler Flowers his fourth K of the night for the second out of the inning before it was time for another call to the bullpen.

Chris Capuano entered the game and walked the first batter he faced, Adam Eaton. Heappeared to get out of the jam whenMarcus Semien hit a routine ground ball up the middle to Xander Bogaerts.

Bogaerts throw to Mike Carp at first base was in the dirt and Carp couldnt pick it, though, and the winning run came around to score.

Thats a tough one to swallow for the Red Sox.

Mid 9th, 1-1: The Red Sox had the go-ahead run at second, but the White Sox battled to keep this game knotted at 1-1.

David Ortiz grounded out to lead off the inning, but a one-out walk to Mike Napoli warranted a call to the pen.

Donnie Veal replacedJake Petricka, and Jonny Gomes enteredthe game to pinch-hit for Daniel Nava. Gomes couldnt provide any late-inning heroics, though, whiffing on a curveball for the second out.

With A.J. Pierzynski batting, Mike Napoli showed off some heads-up baserunning, stealing second on a pitch in the dirt, but his aggressiveness might have actually hurt him. Napoli appeared to hurt his finger sliding into the bag headfirst. Fingers arent supposed to bend that way.
