The Boston Red Sox's starting pitching has been a disaster lately, and the problem lies in the very first inning. On the season, the Red Sox have a 7.04 team ERA in the first frame, which is second-worst in Major League Baseball behind only the Colorado Rockies.

Walker Buehler got lit up for five runs in the first, raising the club's first-inning ERA to 7.06. That ranks 29th in the majors.

The Chicago White Sox have called up another one of their top prospects, catcher Kyle Teel. To make room, they've sent down another young catcher to AAA Charlotte, Korey Lee. Teel will start behind the plate while batting sixth on Friday night in his Major League Baseball debut against the Kansas City Royals.

White Sox catching prospect Kyle Teel had his contract selected from Triple-A Charlotte before Friday's 7-2 comeback victory over the Royals at Rate Field. To make room on the roster, backstop Korey Lee was optioned to Charlotte.
