Bo Bichette had a home run and two RBI singles as the Toronto Blue Jays swept the Chicago White Sox with an 8-0 victory on Wednesday afternoon.
Whit Merrifield stretched his on-base streak to 19 games with a hit in the fourth and a two-run single in the seventh as Toronto won its fourth straight, including the three-game sweep of Chicago.
Yusei Kikuchi struck out eight and held the White Sox to just four hits and a walk over 5 2/3 innings. Relievers Erik Swanson, Yimi Garcia, and Trevor Richards preserved his win. Bichette opened the scoring in the third when he bounced a hard-hit single into right field, giving Espinal plenty of time to run home from second and advance George Springer to third.
Springer was removed from the game in the next inning after suffering a right-hand contusion. Preliminary X-rays came back negative.
