CHICAGO -- — Chris Bassitt pitched six strong innings, Davis Schneider hit a home run and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Chicago White Sox 6-1 on Tuesday night in a game that was shortened to seven innings because of rain.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had two hit and two RBI.

Schneider hit a leadoff homer off starter Aaron Civale (1-6) to open the scoring before Guerrero and Addison Barger each hit an RBI double in Toronto’s five-run third inning.

Bassitt (9-4) gave up four hits and a run — a solo homer by Josh Rojas in the sixth.
