Whatever happens, he\u2019s on to the next pitch with the same default expression.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThat\u2019s really weird. But really cool to find that attitude with a young guy like him,\u201d catcher Carlos Narv\u00e1ez said after Bennett fired seven dominant innings in a 5-0 victory against the White Sox Wednesday night at Rate Field.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span>Weird works. Bennett allowed four singles and struck out four with one walk, dropping his earned run average to 2.61 over eight starts. He combined with Greg Weissert and Jovani Mor\u00e1n to retire the final 13 White Sox hitters in order.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>Willson Contreras to participate in Home Run Derby at All-Star Game<\/div>\n<p><span>Momentum is building. The Red Sox have won five straight, matching their best streak of the season, and 10 of 12. At 42-48, they are within six games of .500 for the first time since May 22.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Get Starting Point<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><label>Enter Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div><button>Sign Up<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>They are also a half-game out of third place in the division and three games back in the American League wild card race.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The series finale is Thursday afternoon with Patrick Sandoval making his long-awaited debut. The Red Sox are 5-0 on their road trip with four games remaining before the All-Star break.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThe vibe is great,\u201d Bennett said. \u201cGuys are playing extremely well and just pumped to be doing that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The only downside was that first baseman Willson Contreras (bruised left foot) and second baseman Anthony Seigler (bruised left trapezius) left the game due to injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Contreras was still limping a bit after the game after fouling a ball off his foot in the third inning but said he wasn\u2019t concerned it was anything more than a bruise. Seigler was not available for comment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The second baseman was injured when he collided with the shin guard of Chicago catcher Kyle Teel while scoring on a wild pitch in the third inning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI was concerned because he kind of rolled over and was just kind of laying there,\u201d interim manager Chad Tracy said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=4598\">After his support collapses, Graham Platner ends scandal-plagued Senate campaign<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>The concern grew when Seigler said his neck hurt. But he was able to get up and walk back to the dugout. Tracy compared it to a football player taking a hard hit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Through it all, Bennett (4-3) stayed under control, throwing 53 of 81 pitches for strikes and allowing only one runner as far as second base.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>That came in the second inning when Chase Meidroth led off the second inning with a single before Sam Antonacci drew a walk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Bennett struck out Braden Montgomery swinging at a fastball, then fanned Junior P\u00e9rez looking at a fastball on the inside corner. Teel was retired on a tapper in front of the plate to end the inning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Bennett showed no reaction to any of it. He\u2019s the anti-Payton Tolle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI\u2019m just a pretty even-keeled guy. I think I\u2019ve always been that way,\u201d Bennett said. \u201cIt\u2019s very easy to get emotional. Baseball is a super hard game, and when things don\u2019t go your way, you kind of start tilting. I try and keep it right in the middle.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>White Sox starter Davis Martin came into the game 9-3 with a 3.08 earned run average. He lasted four innings and allowed five runs on six hits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>After two perfect innings, Martin walked Jarren Duran leading off the third. You wouldn\u2019t expect the No. 8 hitter to lay down a sacrifice bunt to get to Tsung-Che Cheng, who was playing in his 10th major league game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But that\u2019s what Narv\u00e1ez decided to do on his own. Cheng then lined the second pitch he saw into center field for his third career RBI.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI liked it,\u201d Tracy said. \u201cReally good baseball.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Cheng took second on the throw to the plate and third on a passed ball.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Seigler drew a walk. Ceddanne Rafaela followed with an RBI double to center field. Seigler then scored on a wild pitch when he was injured.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Red Sox scored two more runs in the fourth inning on singles by Masataka Yoshida, Caleb Durbin, Narv\u00e1ez, and Cheng.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=4596\">Trump says he\u2019ll ask Supreme Court to rehear citizenship case, an unlikely event<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>Cheng was 2 for 3 with a walk, a run scored, and two RBIs.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Red Sox are 5-0 on their road trip with four games remaining before the All-Star break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4601,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
