The Chicago White Sox edged the Toronto Blue Jays 2–1 on Wednesday in Chicago, snapping Toronto’s 10-game winning streak—the longest active run in Major League Baseball. Right-hander Adrian Houser limited the league’s hottest lineup to a single run over seven innings, scattering seven hits with two walks and two strikeouts. The 31-year-old improved to 5-2 and trimmed his ERA to 1.56, the lowest among qualified American League starters, before Jeremiah Estrada and Michael Kopech combined for six outs to secure the victory. Toronto had grabbed an early lead on a Tyler Heineman bunt single, but the White Sox answered with two runs and never trailed again. The loss halted a surge that had lifted the Blue Jays to the top of the AL East, 3.5 games clear of the New York Yankees entering play. Houser’s latest performance further elevates his profile as one of the most sought-after starters ahead of the 31 July trade deadline.
