Blue Jays host White Sox, try again for .500 (Jun 16, 2017)

TORONTO — Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Joe Biagini will be going for his second victory of the season Friday night against the Chicago White Sox.

If he can do it, there will be a more important team result. It would put the Blue Jays at .500 for the first time this season.

The .500 plateau has been elusive for the Blue Jays after they started the season 2-11. This will be the Blue Jays’ seventh attempt to reach the break-even point this season.

The Blue Jays (32-33), after gaining a split in a two-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays with a 7-6 victory on Wednesday, had Thursday off as the White Sox (29-36) defeated the Baltimore Orioles 5-2 to take the four-game series with three wins.
