The Boston Red Sox struggled offensively in their series opener against the Chicago White Sox, but it was a different story Tuesday night at Guaranteed Rate Field.
The Red Sox posted four runs in the second inning off White Sox ace Jose Quintana, including back-to-back home runs from Deven Marrero and Mookie Betts.
Following an RBIÂ double from Jackie Bradley Jr., Marrero clubbed his first long ball of the season to left field.

And Betts followed suit with an absolute laser over the left-field fence, his second home run in as many games against the White Sox.

We have a feeling Red Sox starter Chris Sale appreciated the run support, especially against his former club.
