Errorful Loss

The White Sox defeated the Blue Jays 3-1 as two ninth inning errors provided the cushion for the win. Phil Humber and Brandon Morrow each made a high quality start, allowing one run each while pitching deep into the game. Marc Rzepczynski suffered the loss however, as sloppy play took over late for Toronto. John McDonald’s error allowed the leadoff man to reach, and Rzepczynski’s wild pitch put Alex Rios on second. With one out, Marc hit a batter, who stole second, setting up a Juan Pierre grounder to first. Rzepczynski broke late for the bag, and Juan Rivera made a poor throw. Juan earned an error and both runs scored.

The Blue Jays scored three runs or less in five of their last seven games.
