Jim Clancy, who is a native of Chicago, started before his hometown folks for the first time, and pitched 7 2/3 scoreless innings before giving way to Mike Willis, who completed the Blue Jays' 3-0 victory over the White Sox. Clancy allowed only three hits but was removed after issuing a walk and giving up a single to Bob Molinaro. Willis held the White Sox hitless the rest of the way. The Blue Jays' scoring included Rick Cerone's first homer of the season. [The Sporting News]
