If you were a White Sox pitcher last night at Fenway Park, it was not a fun evening. The Boston Red Sox absolutely demolished Chicago, 14–2, in one of the most lopsided games of the entire 2026 MLB season. The Sox batted around multiple times and made the scoreboard look like a basketball game!
The big hero? Wilyer Abreu, who went 2-for-4 with TWO home runs, 2 RBI, 2 runs scored, and a walk. That's a seriously electric night at the plate. Boston improves to 61–51 on the season, sitting 5 games back of the AL East-leading Rays (67–46). The White Sox fall to 59–53 and are clinging to a 3-game lead in the AL Central — a lead that might not feel so comfortable after getting embarrassed on the road like this.
It was just one of FIFTEEN MLB games played Tuesday, and the big bats were out all night long. From L. Torrens going 3-for-3 with a homer and 4 RBI for the Mets, to Manny Machado ripping 4 RBI for San Diego, to the Rays outlasting Colorado in 11 wild innings — Tuesday August 4th was a *chef's kiss* day of baseball. Let's break it all down!
Fifteen games were played on Tuesday and almost every one of them had something worth talking about. Jesús Luzardo nearly tossed a complete-game shutout for the Phillies (8 IP, 0 ER, 7 K), the Cubs knocked off the mighty Dodgers 5–1 behind Dansby Swanson's homer, and the Tigers blanked Seattle 8–0 as T. Melton dealt 7 scoreless innings. Bobby Witt Jr. was himself (3-for-5, 2 RBI) for the Royals in an 8–2 win over the Twins. Wild night all around!
