​BOSTON — The Chicago White Sox were one strike away from salvaging the finale of their three-game series against the Boston Red Sox.But Wilyer Abreu’s RBI single with two outs in the ninth forced extra innings, and the game went on and on.It was decided in the 13th inning on a Caleb Durbin walk-off RBI single, which gave the Red Sox a 12-11 victory Thursday in front of a sellout crowd of 37,082 at Fenway Park.How a trade gets done: Chicago White Sox GM Chris Getz breaks down the steps to a deal“Good battle there,” White Sox manager Will Venable said. “Some things that we can control that you wish you had back there. But got to give the Red Sox credit too.“It’s just the hardest team to beat right now. We’ve seen it firsthand now, obviously the record against them speaks for itself. Just couldn’t find a way to beat them.”The White Sox were swept in the three-game series and lost all six in the season series — the first time in franchise history they went winless in the season series against the Red Sox.Thursday was the toughest defeat of this year’s matchups. Chase Meidroth hit two two-run home runs in the loss.“That’s a playoff atmosphere, but it sucks that we didn’t get the job done,” Meidroth said.The red-hot Red Sox won their eighth straight and 10th of 11 and improved to 31-5 in their last 36 games.The White Sox received more bad news when catcher Joey Bart, acquired Monday at the trade deadline, exited with a fifth metacarpal fracture in his left hand after being hit by a pitch in the seventh inning.“We’ll continue to check it out, but it’s a fracture,” Venable said. “Obviously it’ll be an IL (stint), and we’ll figure out what we’re going to do, see what the timeline is with him as we continue to evaluate.”Despite the loss, the White Sox (59-55) remained three-games ahead of the second-place Cleveland Guardians (57-59) in the American League Central. The Minnesota Twins (57-59) also are tied for second. The Sox begin a three-game series with the Guardians on Friday at Rate Field.Early Thursday, it looked as if they would be going into that series with some momentum.The White Sox jumped ahead with four runs in the third inning. Meidroth homered, giving the White Sox their first lead against the Red Sox all season. Colson Montgomery drove in a run on a single. A second run scored on the play on a throwing error.The Red Sox cut the lead in half with Connor Wong’s two-run home run in the bottom of the third.Sam Antonacci, who received a smattering of boos in response to a first-inning grounder Wednesday that sparked an online debate as to whether his left elbow got a little too close to Willson Contreras while running to first base, got a run back in the fourth with a pinch-hit RBI double to right field. Brenton Doyle scored on the hit, giving the Sox a 5-2 lead.But the Red Sox came right back with three runs in the bottom of the fourth to tie the score.Starter Luis Castillo allowed five runs o
