After pitching carried them through their first six wins, it was encouraging to see the “never say quit” attitude displayed by the entire lineup, grinding out tough at bats against a stingy Marlins bullpen to come out on top.

That wasn’t the only exciting game in the AL, so let’s see how their Junior Circuit rivals fared. Chicago White Sox (3-5) 6, Toronto Blue Jays (4-4) 3 On Wednesday it was an extra-innings loss to the Rockies. On Friday it was getting walked-off by the White Sox and last night brought another loss to the Pale Hose.

The Blue Jays have now lost three straight games to the only two teams predicted to lose at least 95 games according to FanGraphs’ preseason projections. Both teams went with a bullpen game and did pretty well, Lazaro Estrada following Blue Jays opener Maso Fluharty’s first inning with four no-hit frames while Grant Taylor and Anthony Kay combined to give the White Sox 5. 1 innings of two-run ball.

Munetaka Murakami has been electric since signing from NPB over the winter, opening the scoring with a sac fly in the first before crushing a 431-foot, two-run blast in the sixth to restore the White Sox lead for already four home runs, seven RBIs, and a 178 wRC+ in eight games — becoming the fastest Japanese player to four home runs in history. View Link Vladimir Guerrero Jr. grabbed Toronto a short-lived lead with a two-run tank in the top of the sixth, but that was immediately nullified by Murakami’s bomb and a solo shot from Colson Montgomery in the bottom half.
