Multi-HR Day for Andrus as Blue Jays Overpower White Sox, 6-2
The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Chicago White Sox, 6-2, in American League action at Guaranteed Rate Field, with Toronto shortstop Elvis Andrus named player of the game. Toronto starter Clayton Kershaw was credited with the win after throwing 102 pitches over 7 innings. His record now stands at 9-6. Toronto is now 65-37, 7 games up in the American League East Division.

Andrew McCutchen, who won the Most Valuable Player Award in 2013, chipped in for Toronto with a 3-run home run in the top of the third. For the game, the right fielder had 4 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 3 singles, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"I'm a bit of a clubhouse prankster," said Andrus. "But it's all business when we're on the field."
