The Chicago White Sox completed a surprising three-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday, with pitcher Davis Martin leading the way in a 3-0 victory. Martin allowed just four hits and two walks over six innings, while the White Sox offense provided just enough support with RBI hits from Austin Hays, Miguel Vargas, and Lenyn Sosa.

Why it matters

The White Sox's sweep of the Blue Jays, one of the American League's top teams, is an unexpected early-season result that could signal the South Siders are poised to bounce back from a disappointing 2022 campaign.

The details

Davis Martin (2-0) was dominant on the mound, striking out four batters and limiting the high-powered Blue Jays offense. The White Sox scored single runs in the first, second, and fourth innings to provide the necessary support. Ernie Clement had two hits for Toronto, who struggled with runners in scoring position, going 0-for-6 in those situations.
