Aaron Bummer (2-5) allowed two-out singles to Teoscar Hernandez
and pinch hitter Breyvic Valera in the two-run bottom of the
eighth, and Kirk delivered a single.
Jose Ruiz replaced Bummer and Yoan Moncada made an error on
Lourdes Gurriel Jr.'s grounder to third. Randal Grichuk then
walked to force in another run.
Tim Mayza (4-1) pitched a perfect top of the eighth. Jordan
Romano worked around a single in the ninth to earn his 13th
save. The Blue Jays have won two of the first three games of the
four-game series.
Ray went seven innings, allowing one run on five hits and a
walk. The left-hander also hit a batter.
Chicago right-hander Lucas Giolito worked six innings, giving up
one run, five hits and one walk with six strikeouts.
The White Sox scored a run in the third. Leury Garcia led off
with a single, stole second and third and came home on Moncada's
two-out single. Moncada extended his hitting streak to 12 games.
The Blue Jays tied the game in the fourth. Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
singled with one out and scored on Corey Dickerson's two-out
triple.
Ray walked Jose Abreu with two outs in the sixth and hit Eloy
Jimenez with a pitch but ended the inning by striking out Luis
Robert.
Guerrero walked with one out in the bottom of the sixth and an
out later took second on Dickerson's infield single to second.
But Kirk grounded out to shortstop.
Cesar Hernandez hit an infield single to third with one out in
the seventh and took second on Garcia's single to right. But
Seby Zavala struck out for the third time, and Tim Anderson, who
missed the previous four games with sore legs, also struck out.
Former Blue Jays pitcher Ryan Tepera replaced Giolito and worked
around a walk in the seventh.
