Adrian Houser tossed seven solid innings, and the Chicago White Sox stopped Toronto’s 10-game winning streak, beating the Blue Jays 2-1 on Wednesday.
Houser (5-2) won his third straight start. Edgar Quero hit an RBI double and scored in a two-run fourth against Toronto starter Eric Lauer (4-2), and Chicago stopped the Blue Jays one win shy of their franchise record. Toronto has won 11 straight five times, most recently in August 2015.
Houser, who gave up one run and seven hits, has a 1.56 ERA through nine starts. The right-hander has allowed two earned runs in 26 innings over four outings at Rate Field.
Jordan Leasure struck out the first two batters in the ninth before Alejandro Kirk singled. The right-hander then retired Myles Straw on a fly to centre for his second save in five chances, and the White Sox came away with the win after losing nine straight at home against Toronto.
Lauer struck out seven in four innings, allowing two runs and four hits.
