Frequently Asked Questions
Why did Josh Donaldson make a whistleblowing gesture after his home run against the White Sox?
Donaldson was responding to White Sox first base coach Darryl Boston, who blew a few quick chirps on his whistle as Donaldson approached home plate. Boston uses that whistle to shift White Sox outfielders and sometimes celebrate big defensive plays, and the chirps apparently struck a nerve with Donaldson.
Who hit the home runs that put the Blue Jays ahead of the White Sox?
The Blue Jays hit home runs off Danny Farquhar in both the 7th and 8th innings to go up 4-2. Josh Donaldson had also taken a hanging breaking ball from Reynaldo Lopez the opposite way for a solo shot in the sixth inning.
How did Reynaldo Lopez pitch against the Blue Jays?
Lopez was solid, giving up only 2 hits and 1 earned run over 6.0 innings. His lone mistake was a hanging breaking ball that Josh Donaldson took the opposite way for a home run in the sixth.
What happened between Marcus Stroman and Tim Anderson in August 2017?
Stroman and Anderson were involved in a bench-clearing confrontation during an August 2017 game between the Blue Jays and White Sox. No punches were thrown, but both players took to social media after the game to continue their feud.
Will Marcus Stroman pitch against the White Sox in this series?
No, Stroman is not slated to pitch in the current three-game series in Toronto. Fans will have to wait until the Blue Jays visit the South Side in July for any potential fireworks between Stroman and Tim Anderson.
