Chase Meidroth Debuts for White Sox Against Red Sox

The Chicago White Sox celebrated the major league debut of rookie Chase Meidroth on Friday night, where he made an immediate impact during a commanding 11-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Acquired from Boston in the offseason trade involving Garrett Crochet, Meidroth recorded a hit, three walks, and scored twice, marking him as the first player since Larry Walker to achieve such statistics in a debut. The White Sox, who had struggled with losses and injuries early in the season, snapped an eight-game losing streak thanks to strong performances from both Meidroth and pitcher Davis Martin, who allowed only one run over six-plus innings. Boston’s defense faltered with five errors, and manager Alex Cora expressed disappointment in the team's overall performance. The White Sox, now 2-10, aim to build on this victory in the ongoing series against the Red Sox. Meidroth’s transition from minor leagues to MLB has been closely watched, given his impressive stats and background from the University of San Diego.
