The Red Sox extended their winning streak to seven games by sweeping a twin bill from the White Sox, 3-2 and 5-0. Chuck Rainey twirled a five-hitter for the shutout. The opener was deadlocked, 2-2, when Wade Boggs led off the eighth inning with a single -- his first major league hit -- reached second on a sacrifice, advanced to third on a groundout and scored on Jim Rice's single.

Boston took a 1-0 lead in the fifth inning of the second game on a single by Rick Miller and added three runs in the sixth on Dave Stapleton's single, a bases-loaded walk to Glenn Hoffman and Gary Allenson's infield out. [The Sporting News]
