BOSTON (AP) -- Against Chicago Cubs ace Jake Arrieta, the Red Sox didn't have time for a slow start Friday night -- not exactly a strength for them this season.
Andrew Benintendi helped Boston solve that issue, and the club just had to hang on from there.
Benintendi hit a solo homer off Arrieta to spark a five-run first inning and Boston beat Chicago 5-4.
