The White Sox have scored 23 runs in the seventh inning, more than any other inning.

The White Sox became the first team to sweep the high-powered Toronto Blue Jays at home since 2013 behind timely hitting, great defense and dominant pitching.
St. Louis shortstop Aledmys Diaz had two hits and a homer and right-hander Adam Wainwright’s bases-loaded triple keyed a five-run sixth inning in the Cardinals’ 11-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field on Wednesday.
Price did not resemble the same pitcher who allowed a career-high-tying eight earned runs in his last start. “He needs to find it”. Dan Jennings got one out, Matt Albers worked the eighth and David Robertson finished for his eighth save.
Tulowitzki made the final out when he was hit by Saunders’ infield hopper while running from first to second. I got the triple already.
Six straight White Sox batters reached with two outs in the 11-batter, five-hit inning. The White Sox capped off another sweep by defeating the Toronto Blue Jays 4-0 tonight north of the border.
“Right now I’m just trying to get myself going”, Martin said.
WASHINGTON – Maikel Franco hit a tiebreaking double in the seventh inning, and Philadelphia beat Washington, ending the Nationals’ eight-game home winning streak.
“Well there’s something to be said for putting the ball in play, that’s for sure”, offered Toronto manager John Gibbons about the team’s continued lack of contact having a role in a tepid 10-13 start.
Instead, things went sour in the seventh. Last season, Webb appeared in 27 games with the White Sox and posted a 1-0 record with a 6.30 ERA (30.0 IP). I thought the guy at third could probably handle himself.
Game 2 sees lefty J.A. Happ (3-0, 2.42) square off against the struggling Chris Archer (1-4, 5.47), while Marcus Stroman (3-0, 4.37) closes out the series against Jake Odorizzi (0-1, 3.58).
“The arm’s good, just a little bruised”, he said. He’s pitched 24⅓ innings but just struck out 13 batters, which means he has an abysmal 4.8 K/9.
“That’s huge”, Frazier said.
Locke (1-2) allowed five hits as he bounced back from a clunker in his last outing.
Navarro and RHP Mat Latos were among the White Sox players watching the Game 7 showdown between the Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues in the clubhouse afterward. Smith was recalled from Triple-A when C Alex Avila went on the 15-day DL. Navarro may have had a good game with his triple; however, former Blue Jay Brett Lawrie was met with a chorus of “booos” from the home crowd that he used to play in front of. In the first inning, Josh Donaldson’s one-out double off the top of the wall in left-centre died at second base when Bautista struck out and Encarnacion popped up. They’ve hit a combined.227/.293/.356 with a. 649 OPS, which ranks 14th in the American League.

“A swing and a miss” has been a common refrain from Blue Jays broadcasters this year as Toronto’s strikeout totals would skyrocket toward historic proportions if left unchecked.
