Luis Robert and Jake Burger homered to support five strong innings from Touki Toussaint as the host Chicago White Sox stopped a six-game skid with a 3-0 victory against the Cleveland Guardians on Friday night.
Robert launched his team-leading 29th home run to open the scoring in the first inning, connecting against Guardians starter Xzavion Curry after Tim Anderson grounded into a double play.
Oscar Colas provided the final margin with an RBI single in the eighth. Gregory Santos navigated a walk and a hit-by-pitch in the ninth to notch his second save, striking out Oscar Gonzalez to end the game. Toussaint limited his former team to three hits with one walk and four strikeouts while throwing 52 of his 83 pitches for strikes. Friday marked the right-hander's third straight start of at least five innings. He pitched one inning of scoreless relief Wednesday night.
