| The White Sox weathered eight walks by Lerrin LaGrow, making infrequent start, as the Blue Jays left a club-record 16 men on base in an 8-4 loss. Seven runs in the seventh inning lifted the Chisox to victory. Two-run doubles by Lamar Johnson and Bill Nahorodny highlighted the big inning. [The Sporting News] |
