The White Sox managed to score one run in both the second and fourth innings and added another run in the seventh inning but struggled to contain Toronto's offense throughout most of the game. Despite their efforts, including nine hits and maintaining zero errors defensively, they could not match up against Toronto's dynamic play.


Yimi García from Toronto’s bullpen also contributed significantly with his eighth hold of the season, showcasing depth in pitching that helped secure this win for his team.
