Luisangel Acu\u00f1a got two hits for Chicago (4-5), which last swept the Blue Jays in April 2016 at Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>Martin (2-0) struck out six and walked two in his second consecutive sharp start. Chris Murphy, Chicago&#8217;s third reliever, worked around a walk in the ninth for his first save this season and the second of his career.<\/p>\n<p>Ernie Clement had two of Toronto&#8217;s six hits as the AL champion Blue Jays (4-5) dropped their fourth straight game and were shut out for the first time this season.<\/p>\n<p>Eric Lauer (1-1) pitched the first two innings for Toronto, yielding two runs and three hits while walking three. Three relievers followed.<\/p>\n<p>Tanner Murray made his major league debut at shortstop for the White Sox after getting called up from Triple-A. Murray ranged to his left to snare Addison Barger\u2019s grounder up the middle with the bases loaded in the third, then threw out Barger at first to end the threat.<\/p>\n<p>Toronto catcher Brandon Valenzuela singled in the first at-bat of his big league debut. He was called up Saturday from Triple-A Buffalo after Alejandro Kirk got injured.<\/p>\n<p>The White Sox took a 1-0 lead in the first. Chase Meidroth scored when Vargas\u2019 sinking liner skipped past center fielder Daulton Varsho for a triple.<\/p>\n<p>Sosa\u2019s run-scoring double in the third made it 2-0.
