Chicago could only muster 5 hits and take 2 walks against the right-handed Lucas, who controlled them throughout the game as Boston took the contest, 7-0. Lucas added 1 strikeout in his complete-game effort.
"I don't know if I was on or if they were off today," Lucas told reporters after the shutout win. "But whatever it was, I hope it happens again next time."
