At 53-38, the Blue Jays matched the franchise
record for most victories before the All-Star break. It's the
longest win streak for the team since an 11-game run in August
2015.
José Berríos (5-3) pitched six innings of one-run ball, bouncing
back nicely after he struggled in a no-decision against the New
York Yankees on Wednesday. The right-hander improved to 16-6
with a 2.96 ERA in 27 career starts against Chicago.
Mike Tauchman had three hits and two RBIs for the last-place
White Sox, who won two of three at Toronto last month. Colson
Montgomery, one of the team's top prospects, went 0 for 3 with a
walk in his home debut.
The Blue Jays opened an 8-1 lead when they scored five times in
the sixth. Barger hit a two-run drive off Sean Burke for his
12th homer, and Loperfido chopped a two-run single over a
drawn-in infield.
Burke (4-8) was charged with six runs and six hits in five-plus
innings. The right-hander allowed two earned runs in 16 1/3
innings over his previous three outings.
Key moment
Loperfido and Lukes hit back-to-back homers in the fifth, giving
Toronto a 3-1 lead. It was Loperfido's first homer of the season
and No. 5 for his career.
Key stat
It was Chicago's eighth consecutive home loss against Toronto.
Up next
Chris Bassitt (8-4, 4.32 ERA) starts for Toronto on Tuesday
night, and fellow right-hander Aaron Civale (0-3, 4.29 ERA)
pitches for Chicago.
