Boston Red Sox score 11 runs on 17 hits in win: Alex Verdugo, J.D. Martinez, Kiké Hernández homer, Nathan Eov - MassLive.com

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Sunday that starter Martín Pérez is not a morning person. That is why he started the second game of yesterday’s doubleheader.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Lucas Giolito apparently isn’t either.

Giolito threw 46 pitches and allowed six runs to the Red Sox in the first inning before noon Monday. The righty returned for the second inning and gave up a homer to J.D. Martinez and a walk to Rafael Devers before Tony La Russa finally removed him.

Boston won its annual 11:10 a.m. Patriots’ Day game, beating the White Sox 11-4 at Fenway Park.

The Red Sox — who stroked 17 hits — improved to 11-6 this season and 71-53 on Patriots’ Day.

Verdugo, Martinez and Christian Vázquez each had three hits. Kiké Hernández, Rafael Devers and Franchy Cordero each had two hits.
