Chicago had lost nine of 10 coming into
Sunday’s game. The White Sox snapped an eight-game losing streak
with a 7-1 win Friday.
Bo Bichette’s RBI single in the seventh gave Toronto a 2-1 lead
but the Blue Jays’ bullpen couldn’t hold it. Left-hander Brendon
Little (3-1) took the loss while closer Jeff Hoffman blew his
fourth save opportunity in 21 chances.
Activated off the paternity list before the game, White Sox
right-hander Adrian Houser allowed two runs and seven hits in 6
1/3 innings.
Jordan Leasure (2-4) got two outs in the seventh and Brandon
Eisert worked the eighth. Rookie Grant Taylor finished for his
first career save.
With temperatures in Toronto hovering around 90 degrees and high
humidity making it feel even warmer, the retractable roof at
Rogers Centre was kept closed Sunday.
Key moment
Hoffman came on in the eighth with two outs and runners at first
and second. After walking Chase Meidroth to load the bases,
Hoffman fumbled Andrew Benintendi’s slow roller, allowing the
tying run to score. Vargas followed with his two-run hit.
Key stat
The White Sox won their second road series of the season. They
took two of three at Cincinnati from May 13-15.
Up next
White Sox: RHP Shane Smith (3-4, 2.85 ERA) is scheduled to start
Monday against Arizona LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (2-4, 5.93).
Blue Jays: LHP Eric Lauer (3-1, 2.29 ERA) is expected to start
at Cleveland on Tuesday against LHP Logan Allen (5-4, 4.21 ERA).
