Five Runs Before Toronto Settled In

The White Sox scored five times in the second inning and beat the Blue Jays 12-4. Toronto starter Spencer Miles allowed six runs on six hits in four-plus innings, but the shape of the loss was already visible before the middle innings arrived.

Sam Antonacci hit a two-run homer. Braden Montgomery delivered a three-run triple. Chicago forced Toronto to spend the rest of the night chasing a game whose pace had already left the building.

The Montgomery Department

Braden finished with four RBIs. Colson Montgomery added a three-run double. Together they drove in seven of Chicago’s 12 runs and made the surname the most productive unit in the ballpark.

The joke is available, but the baseball is better: Chicago got damage from different parts of the order and kept adding after the first big inning. This was not a five-run burst followed by seven innings of hanging on. It was a sustained offensive answer every time Toronto tried to make the score look respectable.

Toronto’s Homers Stayed Solo

George Springer, Ramon Urias and Jorbitz Valenzuela homered for the Blue Jays. All three were solo shots. They changed individual lines without changing the pressure of the game.

Toronto had seven hits and made one error. Chicago had 12 hits and kept finding runners to bring home. The Blue Jays’ power arrived in isolated flashes; the White Sox offense arrived in groups.

The Desk Metric: 58.3% Montgomery

Braden and Colson Montgomery combined for seven RBIs, accounting for 58.3% of Chicago’s 12 runs.

That share explains why the game felt organized rather than random. The White Sox had a central source of damage, supported it with Antonacci’s homer and kept the line moving. Toronto saw the same family name attached to too many consequences.

The Desk Has Ruled

Desk ruling: Four straight wins deserve more than a polite nod when the latest one includes 12 runs and a decisive early inning. The White Sox did not merely catch Toronto cold. They kept the temperature there all night, with two Montgomerys handling most of the thermostat.
