It was a double-bullpen game, with both teams
trotting out a handful of relief pitchers with no starters
available.
Grant Taylor pitched a 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.
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.
Bo Bichette had an RBI single in the eighth for the Blue Jays.
Key moment
Fluharty had two outs in the third inning and got two strikes
against Austin Slater for an 0-2 count. But then the Blue Jays
reliever threw four consecutive balls to walk the Chicago
right-fielder. Rojas doubled in the next at-bat to tack on two
more runs.
Key stat
Chicago improved to 7-32 on the road.
Up next
Aaron Civale (1-3) was set to start for Chicago on Saturday
against Jose Berrios (2-3).
