Lance Lynn only gave up one hit in seven scoreless innings, but the Chicago White Sox lost to the Toronto Blue Jays 6-2 in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader.
The Sox lost that one. And they suffered a similar fate Thursday, falling 6-2 in 11 innings.Sox pitchers totaled 17 strikeouts, but the Blue Jays broke through in a big way in the 11th.
George Springer singled to center against the drawn-in infield, bringing home the game’s first run. Bo Bichette had an RBI single that made its way between first baseman Andrew Vaughn and second baseman Elvis Andrus. Another run scored on a bunt single by Daulton Varsho. “All in all, if you look at ERA and wins and losses, it’s been the worst first half of my career,” Lynn said, “but striking out guys at an elite pace. Just got to figure out how to make it start after start and keep building off of it and not have any more clunkers.”
The Blue Jays made the most of their chances in the 11th, dropping the White Sox 14 games under .500 .Before the doubleheader, the Sox placed reliever Joe Kelly on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation. The move is retroactive to Wednesday.
