Gordon Beckham homered to reduce the lead to three off Lester.
Middle of the 8th: Red Sox 5, White Sox 1
Reddick walked and scored from first on a single by Scutaro. He was running when the ball was hit and kept on going. Nice call by Tim Bogar.

Konerko homered off Lester in the seventh inning. He then walked Dunn with one out but slammed the door on the inning. Bard is stretching.

Status quo here as Lester works on a two-hitter. He is mystifying the White Sox.

Carl Crawford used his legs to make things happen.. He singled, stole second and advanced to third on an overthrow by A.J. Pierzynski. He scored on Jarrod Saltalamacchia's double to right.
Josh Reddick reached on a bunt single and Marco Scutaro's sacrifice fly to right field scored Salty with the second run. Jacoby Ellsbury continued the rally with a single and stolen base. With runners at second and third, Dustin Pedroia lined to right scoring the third Sox run.
The White Sox walked Adrian Gonzalez intentionally with a runner at third and two outs, but Kevin Youkilis made them pay for that decision when he lined a single off shortstop Alexei Ramirez' glove knocking in the fourth run.
Top 3rd: Red Sox 0, White Sox 0
The Red Sox may have just lost out on another possible trade choice with the Denver Post reporting that Ubaldo Jimenez has been dealt to the Indians. Dodgers righty Hiroki Kuroda will not waive his no-trade clause.
Phil Humber is really dealing so far. He's retired six of the first seven batters he's faced. Only Marco Scutaro has reached with a walk. The White Sox have really pitched well in this series with Gavin Floyd pitching a beauty last night.
We're all keeping close tabs of the trade market.
Mike Aviles, just acquired from the Royals, had just made his way to the ballpark and should be available to Terry Francona. He'll wear No. 3.

We're underway on a beautiful night in Chicago. The Sox went down in order in the first inning against WS starter Phillip Humber. Jon lester has taken the hill for the Sox.
