Overview
- The White Sox, who beat the Blue Jays 6-3 at Rate Field on Saturday, secured a series victory over last season’s American League champions.
- Munetaka Murakami drove in three runs with a first-inning sacrifice fly and a two-run homer in the sixth, his first home long ball in Chicago and his fourth in eight MLB games.
- Toronto briefly led 2-1 on Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s two-run shot in the top of the sixth, but Chicago answered in the bottom half with Murakami’s blast and Colson Montgomery’s solo homer for a 4-2 edge.
- Toronto placed catcher Alejandro Kirk on the injured list with a dislocated and fractured left thumb, and backup Tyler Heineman later threw away a rundown in the eighth that let two unearned runs score.
- Chicago leaned on a bullpen plan with opener Grant Taylor, bulk innings from Anthony Kay, a win for Chris Murphy, and Seranthony Domínguez closing the ninth for his first save with the club.
