Robert lifts lowly White Sox over Blue Jays 7-1
TORONTO – Luis Robert Jr.'s two-run homer was the highlight of a four-run inning as the White Sox routed the Toronto Blue Jays 7-1 on Friday as Chicago snapped an eight-game losing skid. Josh Rohas had a two-run double as part of the four-run third for Chicago (24-52). Andrew Benintendi had a solo home run in the first and added an RBI single in the second. Austin Slater's base hit also drove in a run in the second. It was a double bullpen game, with both teams trotting out a handful of relief pitchers with no starters available. Grant Taylor pitched one scoreless inning for the White Sox before giving way to long reliever Tyler Alexander (4-7), who worked four without giving up a run. Dan Altavilla, Wikelman Gonzalez and Tyler Gilbert also came out of the bullpen, with Gonzalez allowing a run. Story continues below advertisement Spencer Turnbull (1-1) gave up four runs on five hits and two walks over two innings of work. Mason Fluharty gave up three runs on two hits and two walks, before Braydon Fisher, Nick Sandlin, Chad Green, Brendon Little and Jeff Hoffman combined for six scoreless innings.

TAKEAWAYS White Sox: Scoring has been an issue for Chicago all season, with its 260 runs scored heading into Friday's game the third lowest in all of Major League Baseball.

KEY STAT Toronto's record in blowout games — when the victorious team wins by five or more runs — dropped to 7-13 with Friday's loss. The Blue Jays are much better when it's close, going 12-9 in one-run games.
