Tuesday night, when the Toronto Blue Jays resume their three-game series against the visiting Chicago White Sox, is when they have a chance to win their first series in a month.
In the first game of the series, the Blue Jays trounced the White Sox 9-3 on Monday afternoon, with Danny Jansen leading the way with five years
Since defeating the host San Diego Padres in two of three games on April 19–21, the Blue Jays have not won a series.
After being swept in a three-game series over the weekend by the host New York Yankees, the White Sox have now dropped four straight games.
On Tuesday, left-hander Yusei Kikuchi (2-3, 2.60 ERA) is expected to start for Toronto. With a 5.32 ERA and 23 strikeouts in five career starts versus the White Sox, he has a 2-1 record.
Left-hander Garrett Crochet (4-4, 4.18), who is 3-0 with a 0.53 ERA in his last three starts and averages 12.18 strikeouts per nine innings, is expected to start for Chicago.
He has faced Toronto twice in his career as a reliever, going 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA.
With sixteen of their next twenty games against the White Sox, Detroit Tigers, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Oakland Athletics—all of whom were below.500 as of Tuesday—the Blue Jays are playing what looks to be an easier stretch of their schedule.
