Top fan take from @jacksauer2: “Great win for the Sox today. Another amazing outing from Sonny Gray, going 6 innings shuttie with 9 strikeouts before finally allowing a run in the 7th and being taken out, but Slaten locked in and ended the inning. Man that 7th-8th-9th inning trio of Slaten-Whitlock-Chapman is amazing. Gray is now 5-0 on the year. Willson Contreras was the difference maker at the plate, with the 2 run shot that was most of the offense for either team in this on. His 10th of the year and he continues to rake.”
