TORONTO (AP) --- Sean Burke and two relievers combined on a four-hitter, Colson
Montgomery hit his 24th home run and the Chicago White Sox beat the Toronto
Blue Jays 3-0 on Sunday.
Braden Montgomery had two hits and an RBI as the White Sox bounced back from
Saturday's 1-0 loss to take two of three from the Blue Jays. Toronto scored
five total runs in the series.
Chicago won five of six against Toronto this season, outscoring the Blue Jays
29-12.
Burke (7-4) allowed two hits in 6 2/3 innings, improving to 4-0 with a 1.41 ERA
over his past six appearances. He walked one and struck out five.
Bryan Hudson got four outs and Grant Taylor finished for his fifth save in
eight chances.
Toronto had two hits through eight innings before Ernie Clement reached on an
infield hit to start the ninth. Nathan Lukes followed with a bunt single, and
Clement moved to third on Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s liner to right. Taylor ended
it by getting Kazuma Okamoto to ground into a double play.
Bryan Hudson replaced Burke after Daulton Varsho's two-out single in the
seventh. Pinch-hitter Alejandro Kirk grounded out on Hudson's first pitch.
Blue Jays right-hander Trey Yesavage (4-5) allowed three runs and five hits in
six innings. He walked two and matched his career high by striking out nine.
Chicago opened the scoring on Andrew Benintendi's sacrifice fly in the fourth,
then added a pair of two-out runs in the sixth.
Colson Montgomery fell behind 0-2 against Yesavage before hitting a 388-foot
homer. Benintendi followed with a double and scored on Braden Montgomery's
single.
