Blue Jays handed 4th loss in 5 games as Vaughn's 4-hit effort lifts White Sox to win

Andrew Vaughn needed a triple for the cycle when he came to the plate in the sixth inning.

He settled for another single — and a perfect night at the plate.

Vaughn matched a career high with four hits, including a solo homer, and the Chicago White Sox celebrated Tim Anderson's return with an 8-7 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday in Chicago.

Luis Robert and Josh Harrison also homered as Chicago opened a seven-game homestand with its fifth win in seven games.

Anderson had two hits in his first big league game since May 29. He was activated from the 10-day injured list after being sidelined by a strained right groin.

"I was seeing the ball real well, so if I just stay right there where I'm at, just continue to keep pushing, I'll be in a good spot," Anderson said.

Toronto lost for the fourth time in five games. Raimel Tapia and Cavan Biggio each hit a two-run homer for the Blue Jays, but Jose Berrios (5-3) was tagged for six runs and nine hits in four innings.

"He was missing arm-side, so all his breaking pitches were on the heart of the zone," manager Charlie Montoyo said, "and he paid the price for it."
