Durbin's Grand Slam, Abreu's Two-Homer Night Spark Red Sox 14-2 Rout of White Sox

Caleb Durbin hit his first major-league grand slam and Jarren Duran followed with a homer as the Red Sox exploded for six runs in the first inning and rolled to a 14-2 win over the White Sox at Fenway. Wilyer Abreu added two homers, and the offense padded the lead with a six-run sixth as Boston extended its hot stretch (24 wins in 27 games) and improved to 61-51. Patrick Sandoval earned his first major-league victory since May 7, 2024 in his return from Tommy John surgery, while Erik Miller debuted after being acquired at the trade deadline. Adley Rutschman joined the club, and Boston heads into the next game with Sonny Gray vs. Sean Burke on the docket. The win highlighted Boston’s continued home-heavy surge and multiple offensive milestones for the night.
