The Toronto Blue Jays faced a tough loss against the Chicago White Sox, falling 4-2 at Rogers Center. The defeat came during the final game of a three-game series, ending the Blue Jays' homestand at a .500 record. The White Sox rallied in the eighth inning with a three-run surge, which included a pivotal double by Miguel Vargas. Toronto had briefly tied the game thanks to an offense that showed resilience in the seventh inning.

Reliever Jeff Hoffman took the brunt of the blame, unable to field a routine grounder that allowed a run to score and subsequently giving up an RBI double. Manager John Schneider backed Hoffman, expressing his unwavering trust in the pitcher despite his struggles this season. Hoffman has recorded 17 saves but also carries a high 5.29 ERA.

Looking forward, the Blue Jays have a day off before heading on a West Coast trip, with Chris Bassitt set to start the upcoming game in Cleveland, which may provide an opportunity for the team to regroup and improve their performance, particularly in late-game situations.
