Jul 8, 2025; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Toronto Blue Jays left fielder Davis Schneider (36) hits a solo home run against the Chicago White Sox during the third inning at Rate Field. Mandatory Credit: Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had two hits and two RBIs, Davis Schneider homered and Chris Bassitt pitched six sharp innings as the Toronto Blue Jays pushed their winning streak to 10 games with a rain-shortened 6-1 victory over the host Chicago White Sox on Tuesday.
The game was called following a one-hour, 24-minute rain delay with the Blue Jays batting in the top of the seventh.
Toronto, sitting in first place in the American League East, continued its longest tear since the 2015 team won 12 in a row. The Blue Jays out-hit the White Sox 12-4 while sending Chicago to its sixth loss in eight games.
A five-run third inning against White Sox starter Aaron Civale proved the difference for Toronto. Schneider started the rally with a leadoff home run before Guerrero Jr. drove in his first run with an RBI double.
Addison Barger (double) and Alejandro Kirk (single) added run-scoring hits in the inning before Joey Loperfido’s RBI groundout.
George Springer, Kirk and Loperfido had two hits apiece for Toronto. That was ample support for Bassitt (9-4), who surrendered a solo shot to Josh Rojas in the sixth but was otherwise unblemished. The veteran right-hander scattered four hits with one walk and one strikeout.
He threw just 78 pitches before the delay.
Civale fell to 1-6 after losing for the fourth time in five starts since joining the White Sox in mid-June. He yielded five runs on seven hits in four innings, with two walks and zero strikeouts.
Chicago threatened in the bottom of the first inning, as Mike Tauchman delivered a leadoff double before Lenyn Sosa was hit by a pitch. Bassitt emerged unscathed, however, getting a flyout before inducing Miguel Vargas to hit a double-play groundout to short.
Reinstated from the 10-day injured list before the game, White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. (strained left hamstring) went 1-for-2.
Brooks Baldwin initially was set to start in left field for Chicago but was scratched before the game with lower back tightness and replaced by Austin Slater.
Guerrero Jr. added an RBI single in the sixth.

Red Bull fires Christian Horner: How team principal’s ouster could affect Max Verstappen, Mercedes, Ferrari
The Formula 1 paddock was rocked Wednesday by the news that Christian Horner, the longtime CEO and team principal of Red Bull Racing, has been fired after a 20-year run that featured many race wins and championships with drivers like Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen. Horner's dismissal comes after a sharp decline in Red Bull's performance from its heights in 2023, as Verstappen's performance has fallen off from its championship heights and the team's second car has gone through multiple drivers while struggling to be competitive.Considering the gravity of the news and the depth of his resume as an F1 team principal, Horner's firing is sure to have a ripple effect that extends well beyond the headlines of the gap between last weekend's British Grand Prix and the Belgian Grand Prix later this month. The aftershock of Red Bull's change […]
Eli Manning pulls out of bid to be part-owner of the Giants: ‘It’s too expensive for me’
NFL and New York Giants legend Eli Manning has changed his mind about buying a minority stake in his former team. On Wednesday, the former Giants quarterback told NBC that he was priced out of becoming a part-owner of the franchise.“It’s too expensive for me, these numbers are getting really big,” Manning said. “A 1% stake valued at $10 billion turns into a very big number.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIn September, the Giants were valued at $7.85 billion in CNBC's NFL Team Valuations. The number ranks them as the fourth most expensive franchise in the NFL behind the Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots. Manning, who said he has no interest in buying any other team, previously insisted the Giants are worth $10 billion.He also noted how being a part owner would cause conflict with his other endeavors, which include the […]

49ers QB Brock Purdy says he’d be willing to go to jail for a year for a Super Bowl win this season
The San Francisco 49ers knew they were all in for a Super Bowl in 2024 following their overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII. However, the football gods had other plans. San Francisco lost several notable players due to injury, including Christian McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk, and missed the playoffs with a 6-11 record.The 49ers underwent what was deemed a necessary reset this offseason, losing plenty of talent in free agency. In fact, according to CBS Sports Research, San Francisco's $264 million free-agent spending deficit from players lost to players acquired was the largest in NFL history. Still, the 49ers did reward some of their best players with extensions, such as linebacker Fred Warner and tight end George Kittle, but the headliner was quarterback Brock Purdy inking a five-year, $265 million contract extension.Despite what happened last year, the […]
