BOTTOM LINE: The Chicago White Sox play the Toronto Blue Jays with a 1-0 series lead. Toronto has a 40-35 record overall and a 24-15 record in home games. Blue Jays hitters have a collective .324 on-base percentage, the eighth-best percentage in MLB play.

Andrew Benintendi and Luis Robert Jr. hit tape-measure home runs Friday to help the Chicago White Sox snap an eight-game skid with a 7-1 win against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Blue Jays starter Spencer Turnbull had a tough time keeping the White Sox off the board. Andrew Benintendi, the second batter of the game, launched his eighth homer of the season with a 425-footer. Benintendi turned on an 89 mph fastball that caught too much of the plate, and he got every bit of it.
