MLB: Toronto 8, Chicago WSox 2 (2nd game)

CHICAGO, Sept. 9 (UPI) -- The Toronto Blue Jays used homers by Marco Scutaro, Scott Rolen and Vernon Wells Tuesday to pound the Chicago White Sox 8-2 and sweep a doubleheader.

It was the 10th straight win for Toronto, which took the first game 3-1. The losses by Chicago, combined with Minnesota's 7-2 home win over Kansas City, left the White Sox with a one-game lead over the Twins for first place in the American League Central.

Jesse Litsch (11-8) allowed two runs on six hits in seven innings to get the win in the nightcap. The Blue Jays are on their longest winning streak since taking 11 straight in 1998.

Clayton Richard (2-4) was charged with five hits and five runs in four-plus innings to suffer the loss. Jermaine Dye had a two-run double for Chicago.
