Chicago won five of six against Toronto this season, outscoring
the Blue Jays 29-12.
Burke (7-4) allowed two hits in 6 2/3 innings, improving to 4-0
with a 1.41 ERA over his past six appearances. He walked one and
struck out five.
Bryan Hudson got four outs and Grant Taylor finished for his
fifth save in eight chances.
Toronto had two hits through eight innings before Ernie Clement
reached on an infield hit to start the ninth. Nathan Lukes
followed with a bunt single, and Clement moved to third on
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s liner to right. Taylor ended it by
getting Kazuma Okamoto to ground into a double play.
Bryan Hudson replaced Burke after Daulton Varsho’s two-out
single in the seventh. Pinch-hitter Alejandro Kirk grounded out
on Hudson’s first pitch.
Blue Jays right-hander Trey Yesavage (4-5) allowed three runs
and five hits in six innings. He walked two and matched his
career high by striking out nine.
Chicago opened the scoring on Andrew Benintendi’s sacrifice fly
in the fourth, then added a pair of two-out runs in the sixth.
Colson Montgomery fell behind 0-2 against Yesavage before
hitting a 388-foot homer. Benintendi followed with a double and
scored on Braden Montgomery’s single.
