Rookie Pitchers Duel as Red Sox Face White Sox
8 Jul
Summary
- Red Sox are on a hot streak, winning eight of their last ten games.
- Both teams are set to start rookie left-handed pitchers on Tuesday.
- The White Sox hold first place in the AL Central division.
The Red Sox are set to begin a three-game series against the White Sox on Tuesday, continuing their road trip. Having won eight of their last ten games, including a recent sweep of the Angels, the Red Sox are showing significant improvement. They are now only half a game behind the Blue Jays and Orioles in the AL East standings, despite still being below .500.
The White Sox, holding first place in the AL Central, recently split a four-game series with the Guardians. Tuesday's game will feature a pitching matchup between two rookie left-handers: Payton Tolle for the Red Sox and Noah Schultz for the White Sox. Schultz has struggled with walks and hit batters this season, while Tolle is making his first start against the White Sox and is looking to rebound from a difficult previous outing.
