CHICAGO (AP) — Chris Bassitt pitched six strong innings, Davis Schneider hit a home run, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Chicago White Sox 6-1 on Tuesday night in a game that was shortened to six official innings because of rain.
The Blue Jays have won 10 games in a row — their longest win streak since they won 11 straight in 2015 — and 12 of 13.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had two hit and two RBIs.
Schneider hit a leadoff homer off starter Aaron Civale (1-6) to open the scoring before Guerrero and Addison Barger each hit RBI doubles in Toronto’s five-run third inning.
Bassitt (9-4) gave up four hits and a run — a solo homer by Josh Rojas in the sixth.
Chicago has lost nine straight home games against the Blue Jays.
Guerrero hit an RBI single in the sixth to make it 6-0.
The rain delay lasted about 1 hour, 20 minutes before the game was called.
KEY MOMENT
Chicago had two runners on base with one out in the first and second innings but Bassitt got Miguel Vargas and Austin Slater, respectively, to ground into 4-6-3 double plays and end both threats.
KEY STAT
Toronto (54-38) set a franchise record for wins before the All-Star break. The Blue Jays won 53 games before the break in 1985 and 1992.
UP NEXT
Toronto’s Eric Lauer (4-1, 2.65 ERA) is scheduled to pitch Wednesday against Adrian Houser (4-2, 1.60) to wrap up the three-game series.
