Game 50: After an extended stretch of rather anemic offense, something clicked for Boston (29-21) hitters today as they pounded out 12 runs on 14 hits and 5 walks to top the White Sox (23-27) by a score of 12 to 4. Boston veteran pitcher Cy Young (5-6) picked up the win (4 earned runs on 9 hits; Game Score of 57), while Willie Sudhoff (5-7) only lasted 2 2/3 innings to get tagged for the loss (8 runs (4 earned) on 7 hits; Game Score of 17).
