The Boston Red Sox suffered a tough loss to the Chicago White Sox on Saturday, despite a strong start from pitcher Richard Fitts. Fitts pitched five scoreless innings before being pulled from the game due to right shoulder pain. The Red Sox took an early lead, but the White Sox rallied to score three runs and secure a 3-2 victory.
Fitts, who has been filling in for injured pitchers Lucas Giolito and Brayan Bello, has been a key player in the Red Sox starting rotation. He has shown promise with 13 strikeouts in three starts and an ERA of 3.18. With both Giolito and Bello still on the injured list, the Red Sox will need to rely on Fitts and other pitchers to step up.
Despite the loss, Fitts has been a bright spot for the Red Sox and has demonstrated his potential as one of Boston’s top pitching prospects. The team will be monitoring his shoulder injury closely and awaiting the results of an MRI.
The Red Sox will look to bounce back in the final game of the series against the White Sox on Sunday. With the starting rotation depleted by injuries, Boston will need strong performances from Fitts and the rest of the pitching staff to stay competitive in the early part of the season.
