Blue Jays 7, White Sox 3: Runners left on base, and pitching mistakes

The Chicago White Sox drop game two of the series to the Toronto Blue Jays, 7-3, dropping them to 23-25 and now having to avoid a sweep tomorrow. Michael Kopech didn’t have his usual untouchable stuff tonight, and the team wasn’t able to capitalize off of runners in scoring position.

To start the game, AJ Pollock in the leadoff spot seemed to be working just fine, as he connected on a high fastball for a home run off of Hyun-Jin Ryu.

The 1-0 lead didn’t last long though, as the leadoff hitter for the Blue Jays, Santiago Espinal, matched AJ’s energy and socked a leadoff home run of his own to tie the ballgame, 1-1.
