Casas hits a bases-loaded single off Green Monster in 10th to hand White Sox their sixth straight loss

BOSTON — Triston Casas hit a bases-loaded single off the Green Monster to drive in the winning run with one out in the 10th inning on Saturday, lifting the Boston Red Sox to a 4-3 victory over the White Sox.

Rafael Devers hit a 3-run homer for Boston, which won its fourth straight.

Luis Robert Jr. hit a 2-run shot for the White Sox, who lost their sixth in a row and fell to 4-16 and 0-8 on the road, the worst road start in team history.

The Red Sox nearly wasted a scoreless outing by Garrett Crochet, who took a no-hitter into the eighth inning of a victory against the White Sox in his previous start. He gave up four singles while striking out seven over six innings on Saturday.

Boston took a 3-0 lead when Devers hit a fastball from Shane Smith that left Fenway Park over the Monster in the fifth.

Chicago tied it with a 3-run seventh. Chase Meidroth had an RBI single before Robert hit a hanging sweeper.

Smith gave up three runs over 4⅔ innings in his fourth major-league start. The 25-year-old righty, who grew up about 30 minutes north of Fenway in Danvers, Massachusetts, hit three batters in his second straight start against Boston.

Garrett Whitlock (1-0) got the win.

Key moment

Struggling Casas, who entered the day hitting .172, hit the second pitch halfway up the Monster against rookie Mike Vasil (0-1), who had his first major-league decision.

Key stat

Crochet has allowed only a run over 13⅓ innings in his last two starts, both against his former team, with 18 strikeouts.

Up next

White Sox right-hander Sean Burke (1-3, 7.56 ERA) is set to face struggling Red Sox righty Tanner Houck (0-2, 9.16), who was tagged for 12 runs in only 2⅓ innings against Tampa Bay on Monday.
