TORONTO (AP) --- Sam Antonacci hit a two-run home run, Braden Montgomery
matched his career-high with four RBIs, and the Chicago White Sox extended
their winning streak to four with a 12-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on
Friday night.
Braden Montgomery had a three-run triple and Colson Montgomery added a
three-run double as Chicago improved to 4-0 against Toronto this season,
outscoring the Blue Jays 26-11 in those games.
Tyler Schweitzer (1-0) pitched three shutout innings as the AL Central leaders
returned from the All-Star break with a decisive win.
George Springer, Luis Uras and Brandon Valenzuela hit solo home runs but the
Blue Jays couldn't recover after giving up five in the second inning. Toronto
is 5-36 when its opponent scores five runs or more.
The Blue Jays fell to 24-26 at home, where they went 54-27 last season.
Toronto's Spencer Miles (4-2) allowed six runs and six hits in four-plus
innings.
Colson Montgomery and Andrew Benintendi singled to begin the second before Kyle
Teel hit an RBI double. Braden Montgomery drove in a run with a fielder's
choice and Chase Meidroth hit an RBI single before Antonacci went deep.
Uras homered off Anthony Kay in the fourth.
Springer and Valenzuela both went deep off Trevor Richards. Springer homered in
the fifth, his 10th this season. Valenzuela led off the sixth with his eighth
home run.
Braden Montgomery cleared the bases with a triple off Braydon Fisher in the
seventh, then scored on a sacrifice fly by Tristan Peters.
Hours before the first pitch, the Blue Jays announced on social media that the
roof would remain closed Friday because of poor air quality caused by wildfires.
Up next
Blue Jays RHP Shane Bieber (0-1, 7.64 ERA) is scheduled to start Saturday
against Chicago RHP Davis Martin (9-4, 3.41).
