Alex Colome pitched a perfect ninth inning to
earn his ninth save in as many chances for the White Sox, who
won for the fourth time in five games.
Cordell's sacrifice bunt in the eighth inning broke a tie,
before Leury Garcia provided an insurance run with a sacrifice
fly RBI.
Kelvin Herrera (1-2) was the winner, pitching around two walks
in the eighth to keep the game tied, and setting the stage for
Chicago's late-game heroics.
White Sox right-hander Dylan Covey scattered two hits and two
runs -- one earned -- in 5 2/3 innings, walking two and striking
out one. After allowing a solo home run to Freddy Galvis and a
single to Brandon Drury to open the second, he retired 12
consecutive batters without a strikeout.
A leadoff walk to Eric Sogard ultimately spelled doom in the
sixth. The Blue Jays tied the game at 2-all as Randal Grichuk
reached base on a two-out error by third baseman Yoan Moncada to
score Sogard.
Chicago opened the scoring in the first with an unearned run of
its own, as catcher Welington Castillo hit an RBI single one
batter after Galvis committed a two-out fielding error. The
White Sox took the lead in the fourth on a Cordell infield
single. With runners at the corners and two outs, Cordell
dribbled a ball up the middle that Galvis stopped, but he was
unable to get a forceout.
Joe Biagini worked out of two-on, no-out jam in the seventh,
striking out Castillo on a high cutter with the bases loaded to
keep the game tied. Biagini pitched in relief of Marcus Stroman,
who spaced seven hits and two runs -- one earned -- in six
innings while striking out six and walking one.
Nicky Delmonico and Charlie Tilson added two hits apiece for the
White Sox.
Derek Law (0-1) was the loser, allowing two runs in the eighth
while striking out a pair.
