Walker Buehler pitched seven strong innings, Kristian Campbell’s base-loaded grounder rolled into right field for a two-run single and the Red Sox beat the Chicago White Sox in Boston’s annual Patriots’ Day game.

As the runners ran the 2025 Boston Marathon, Walker Buehler’s 7-inning, 1-run start powered the Red Sox to a 4-2 win and series victory over the Chicago White Sox at Fenway Park.

BOSTON — In the estimation of his manager, no other Red Sox pitcher has a pre-game routine as detailed as Walker Buehler. “It doesn’t matter if it’s 7 (p.m.) or 11 o’clock,” said Alec Cora Monday morning. “He’s on-point. It’s not like it takes him a long time to get ready. But there’s a lot of moving parts throughout his process.”
