The Chicago White Sox achieved a significant comeback victory against the Toronto Blue Jays, breaking their 0-38 streak when trailing after seven innings. In a tight game where they trailed by one run, the Sox tied the game in the eighth with a key error by Blue Jays reliever Jeff Hoffman. Miguel Vargas followed up with a two-run double, securing a 4-2 win, marking only their second road series victory of the season. Manager Will Venable praised the team's execution and resilience, while Adrian Houser delivered a strong pitching performance amidst personal challenges following the birth of his daughter.
Andrew Benintendi tapped a slow grounder near the first-base line. Blue Jays reliever Jeff Hoffman couldn't field the ball cleanly, allowing Benintendi to reach first safely as Austin Slater touched home for the game-tying run.
Manager Will Venable expressed pride in his team's resilience, stating, 'For them to come out and play good, clean baseball in all phases and execute our game plan was great to see.'
Houser allowed two runs on seven hits with four strikeouts and three walks in 6 1/3 innings, demonstrating impressive performance despite recent personal challenges.
'To have this type of result feels good and means a lot to us,' Vargas said, highlighting the team's perseverance amidst a struggling season.
