The White Sox snapped their six game losing streak Sunday with an 8-4 win over the Red Sox at Fenway Park. It also marked their first road win of the season after losing the first eight. And after going 0-79 last season when trailing after six innings, the White Sox came back from down 4-2 and took the lead in the seventh.

They look to keep that momentum going in Monday's series finale against the Red Sox. Righties Jonathan Cannon and Walker Buehler take the mound for the White Sox and Red Sox, respectively. The White Sox also announced that infielder Chase Meidroth is headed to the injured list with right thumb inflammation.
