Aaron Cook had a great outing last night to help his Boston Red Sox beat the White Sox 5-1. Cook gave up five hits on 97 pitches with 66 of those being strikes. He didn’t strike out anyone and did not walk a batter either. This was a solid effort by cook and the Red Sox offense helped him out. The Defense also did a great job for Cook too. The Red Sox are still 9-1/2 games back in the A.L. East and have won 2 in a row. It is going to take more than that to make up ground in that Division. The Yankees keep winning and the Red Sox are only a half game behind the Baltimore Orioles.
The Red Sox will face the White Sox again tonight and they will be trying to get their third win in a row. The team Boston loves needs it.
