TORONTO -- James Shields and the White Sox appeared to have everything under control on Sunday afternoon.
Then Toronto Blue Jays finally arrived.
Shields pitched well into the sixth inning in his first start in two months, but an offensive explosion helped the Blue Jays avoid a series sweep. Russell Martin and Kendrys Morales both homered late as Toronto sent the White Sox to a 7-3 loss in front of 46,599 at the Rogers Centre.
Shields was efficient and stayed out of trouble for much of his first start since April 16. He worked off the outside edge to many of Toronto’s right-handed hitters and allowed him to avoid trouble much of the way.
