Toronto right-hander Chris Bassitt (3-2)
allowed two runs, three hits and three walks while striking out
four in 6 1/3 innings. He left the game because of lower back
tightness.
Three relievers completed the Blue Jays' three-hitter, with
Jordan Romano earning his eighth save by tossing a 1-2-3 ninth
inning.
Chicago right-hander Lance Lynn (0-3) allowed four runs, five
hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out four.
The White Sox scored twice in the third inning. Luis Robert Jr.
walked with two outs and took second on Andrew Benintendi's
single. Andrew Vaughn followed with a two-run double.
Robert took a possible home run away from Matt Chapman with a
leaping catch at the center field wall for the second out in the
fourth. Alejandro Kirk then walked and took second on Brandon
Belt's single. Whit Merrifield knocked in a run with a double
before Biggio hit his second home run of the season, a 362-foot
shot to right field.
Chicago's Lenyn Sosa reached second base on a throwing error by
third baseman Chapman on a grounder with one out in the seventh.
After Bassitt threw ball one to Robert, he left the mound
accompanied by a trainer. Zach Pop took over and finished the
inning.
White Sox reliever Keynan Middleton allowed a run in the bottom
of the seventh. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singled, stole second,
took third on a groundout and scored on Chapman's double.
Pop allowed a walk in the eighth before being replaced by Tim
Mayza with two out. Mayza fanned pinch hitter Gavin Sheets to
end the inning.
Before the game, Toronto put right-hander Adam Cimber (right
rhomboid strain) on the injured list and promoted right-hander
Nate Pearson from Triple-A Buffalo.
Chicago reinstated right-hander Joe Kelly (right groin strain)
from the IL and placed right-hander Lucas Giolito on bereavement
list.
