With a recent hot streak and a resurgence from George Springer, Toronto is looking like one of the AL's top teams.

Chris Bassitt pitched six strong innings, Davis Schneider hit a home run and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Chicago White Sox 6-1 in a game that was shortened to seven innings because of rain.

Toronto sits two victories away from the franchise record for wins before the All-Star break, with six games to go.

In a recent 10-game winning streak, the Toronto Blue Jays showed why they should be taken seriously as American League contenders.

Adrian Houser tossed seven solid innings and the Chicago White Sox stopped Toronto’s 10-game winning streak by beating the Blue Jays 2-1.

The glass-half-full take for the 54-39 Jays, who enjoyed an off day in Sacramento on Thursday after playing for 16 consecutive days, is that they’re in first place, a well-earned spot for a team playing with renewed poise and commitment.
