Sean Burke returned to his home state to deliver a standout performance, leading the Chicago White Sox to an 8-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox. After a series of subpar outings, Burke held the Red Sox to four runs (one earned) while striking out five. Despite a shaky start characterized by errors and a three-run homer from Wilyer Abreu, Burke demonstrated resilience, allowing just two hits in his final three innings. Manager Will Venable praised his composure throughout the game.

Meanwhile, Liam Hendriks made his long-awaited return to the mound in a major league game after 681 days, facing off against familiar faces from his time with the White Sox. Although he allowed two runs, his comeback marks an important milestone in his recovery from Tommy John surgery. White Sox starter Martin Perez was also in the spotlight as he headed back to Chicago for further evaluation of a forearm strain after a solid start to the season.
