CHICAGO — It was Mullet Night at U.S. Cellular Field on Friday and a couple of former Blue Jays made life pretty hairy for Toronto starter Aaron Sanchez.
Former Torontonians (summer residents, anyway) Melky Cabrera and Brett Lawrie collected three hits apiece, including a fifth-inning home run by Cabrera. Against Sanchez, both Cabrera and Lawrie, a native of Langley, B.C., went 3-for-3.
Cabrera would have had four hits if not for a solid defensive play by Toronto first baseman Edwin Encarnacion in the seventh.
But in the end, it was a two-out single to left off reliever Jesse Chavez by Chicago’s Todd Frazier to score rookie Tim Anderson from third in the seventh inning that gave the White Sox their third run of the game and an eventual 3-2 win.
