The Sox played most of the game without center fielder Luis Robert Jr., who exited with soreness in his left hamstring. Michael A. Taylor replaced Robert in the top of the fourth inning. "A couple steps before he got to first base running down the line there (in a second-inning at-bat), just some left hamstring tightness," Venable said. "So he's being evaluated and we'll have some more information tomorrow."
