Chris Bassitt delivered a solid performance over six innings, leading the Toronto Blue Jays to a 6-1 victory against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. The game was ultimately shortened to six innings due to rain.
Davis Schneider contributed significantly with a home run. The Blue Jays' offense also saw Vladimir Guerrero Jr. drive in two runs. A five-run third inning, highlighted by doubles from Guerrero and Addison Barger, proved crucial in establishing a commanding lead.
Bassitt's pitching allowed only four hits and one run, which came from a solo home run in the sixth inning. The White Sox struggled, with Josh Rojas hitting the only run for Chicago.
The Blue Jays' victory extended their winning streak to ten games, their longest since 2015. They have also won twelve of their last thirteen games. The White Sox, meanwhile, continued their struggles, losing their ninth consecutive home game against Toronto.
The game was paused for approximately one hour and twenty minutes due to rain before being called. In the sixth inning, Guerrero added an RBI single, extending the Blue Jays' lead to 6-0.
Toronto's success also included a franchise record for wins before the All-Star break. The Blue Jays' previous best was 53 wins, achieved in both 1985 and 1992.

Guerrero Jr. can’t carry the team forever. We need more consistent hitters.

A franchise record before the All-Star break? Amazing job by the whole roster!

I’d rather see them win against strong teams instead of taking advantage of weak ones.
