White Sox pummel Biagini and Blue Jays
Melky Cabrera hit a three-run homer and a two-run double as the Chicago White Sox routed the Toronto Blue Jays 11-4 at Rogers Centre Friday. Jose Quintana (3-8) was solid for Chicago (30-36), striking out five and allowing five hits and two runs over seven innings. Justin Smoak’s two-run blast in the ninth inning was too little, too late for the Blue Jays (32-34). Kendrys Morales and Steve Pearce had solo home runs. It was Pearce’s first game back since May 14. Toronto starter Joe Biagini (1-6) was shelled, allowing eight hits and giving up seven runs, six earned, in an inning-plus of work.
