The White Sox (72-54) entered today having lost three of their last four games. Things appeared to be turning around due to Lance Lynn’s outstanding effort. However, despite his great performance, the Blue Jays (65-58) battled back to take the first game of this four-game series in Toronto.
Both offenses took a long time before they managed any kind of significant traffic on the basepaths. Through five innings, nobody crossed home plate, as starters Lance Lynn and Alek Manoah were outstanding. The best opportunity to score during the first five innings was when the White Sox put runners on first and second with one out in the fourth.
