Vladimir Gurero Junior made three hits for Blue Jais, which improved his American League-Best Record to 70–50. Toronto also owns the best home record in AL at 39-19.
Berios (9–4) struggled several times with control-but still issued four walks-but still kept the cub (67-51) in the check. He kept him for two hits and did not leave a run.
The right-handed batsman survived a base-loaded jam by a fan of one of the three strikes at night, one of the three strikes at night.
Asad (0–1), the 60-day injured before the game was restored from the injured list, allowing four earned runs and eight hits in four innings. He had two strikes and a walk.
The cub scored his lonely run in the seventh innings, when Michael Bush went with a single in Dansbi Swanson. Chicago loaded the hideouts before Brandon Little ended the threat to Pete Crow-Armestrong.
Mason Fluharyti, Tommy Nane, Louis Varaland and Jeff Hoffman also worked in relief for Blue Jais in front of the 43,003 sales crowd.
Toronto Othit Chicago 12-4. It took two hours 43 minutes to play the game.
