Yesterday was badly needed. Now they have to complete the series win this afternoon.
Chris Bassitt hasn’t exactly been slumping, but he’s allowed 7 runs over 13.0 innings his last two times out. He’ll look to regain the excellent form he had earlier in the year against a beatable White Sox lineup. On the other side, Adrian Houser is off to a great first five starts after signing late in Chicago. His underlying strikeout and walk numbers are pretty mediocre, though, so hopefully the Jays can rough up his shiny 2.15 ERA a little bit.
Here are the lineups:
White Sox:
- Chase Meidroth, SS
- Andrew Benintendi, LF
- Miguel Vargas, 1B
- Kyle Teel, C
- Luis Robert jr., CF
- Ryan Noda, DH
- Lenyn Sosa, 2B
- Josh Rojas, 3B
- Michael A. Taylor, RF
Blue Jays:
- Bo Bichette, SS
- Addison Barger, 3B
- Vladimir Guerrero jr., DH
- Alejandro Kirk, C
- Natham Lukes, RF
- Ernie Clement, 1B
- Andres Gimenez, 2B
- Myles Straw, CF
- Alan Roden, LF
Go Jays Go!
