GAME LOG
TORONTO (AP) _ The Chicago White Sox got only one hit to beat
the Toronto 2-1 on Sunday, taking advantage of five Blue Jays'
errors. Mark Johnson singled with two outs in the third inning for
Chicago's only hit as the White Sox won for the sixth time in seven
games. They have won the first three games of their four-game
series in Toronto. The Blue Jays, who have lost four straight games, made two
errors in the seventh inning, leading to two unearned runs. After Frank Castillo (2-3) walked Frank Thomas to open the
seventh, Magglio Ordonez reached on second baseman Homer Bush's
error. Thomas advanced to third on the play, and scored on
Batista's error at third base. Chris Singleton bunted Ordonez to third, and Carlos Lee hit a
sacrifice fly to give Chicago a 2-0 lead. Cal Eldred (4-2) allowed three hits in 6 2-3 scoreless innings.
He struck out seven and walked one, but had to sweat through the
ninth inning when the Blue Jays nearly rallied for the win. Keith Foulke, who had not allowed a run in his previous 18
innings, gave up a solo homer to Carlos Delgado with two outs and a
double to Brad Fullmer. Foulke then struck out Tony Batista to earn
his seventh save. Eldred, who allowed just three hits in six scoreless innings in
his previous start, has appeared to recover from arm problems that
slowed him earlier in his career. After going 6-16 the previous two
years in Milwaukee, Eldred already has four wins this season. Castillo allowed one hit in seven innings. He struck out six and
walked one. Notes: Eldred was acquired from Milwaukee on Jan. 12 in exchange
for Jaime Navarro, who was released by the Brewers on April 29
after going 0-5. ... Eldred is making $5.4 million this season.
Navarro is making $5 million. ... The White Sox have won seven
straight games at SkyDome. ... Attendance was 18,264.
