Omar Narvaez had three RBIs, Jacob Amaya and Miguel Vargas each delivered two-run doubles and Davis Martin pitched six-plus strong innings as the host Chicago White Sox routed the Boston Red Sox 11-1 on Friday.

Chicago snapped an eight-game losing streak while sending Boston to its fourth loss in five games. The White Sox capitalized on five Red Sox errors to score six unearned runs.

A career outing from Martin (1-1) helped propel the White Sox. The right-hander pitched into the seventh inning for the first time in 22 major-league starts while matching his previous best with six strikeouts.

Martin scattered one run and six hits while walking one. He retired nine straight Boston hitters during one stretch.

Red Sox counterpart Sean Newcomb struggled to keep the White Sox off the bases. Amaya lined a two-run double to left with two outs in the second inning to give Chicago a lead it wouldn’t relinquish.

There also were two outs when Vargas contributed a two-run double to start a four-run fourth. Luis Robert followed with a run-scoring single, stole second base and scored on Lenyn Sosa’s RBI single.

Newcomb (0-2) spaced six runs and six hits in four innings with two walks and six strikeouts.

Narvaez extended the White Sox advantage to 7-0 with a sacrifice fly in the fifth. He added a two-run single in the seventh.

Boston avoided a shutout in its half of the seventh. A Wilyer Abreu double and Kristian Campbell single chased Martin from the game before Blake Sabol lofted a sacrifice fly against reliever Cam Booser.

Alex Bregman grounded out to third with the bases loaded to end the threat.

Michael A. Taylor collected three hits for Chicago while Brooks Baldwin and Sosa each added two.

White Sox second baseman Chase Meidroth, acquired from the Boston organization in the offseason trade that sent left-hander Garrett Crochet to the Red Sox, made his major-league debut and reached base in all four plate appearances. He posted a single and three walks while scoring two runs.

Abreu and Campbell had two hits apiece for the Red Sox.

Martin, Booser, Penn Murfee and Brandon Eisert combined for 11 strikeouts.
