Coming off a win in their home opener, the Chicago White Sox look to win two in a row against the Toronto Blue Jays.
The White Sox will start right-hander Grant Taylor as the opener again, with left-hander Anthony Kay coming in relief. Taylor was effective in his one inning of work on Friday, striking out a batter and allowing no hits on nine pitches.
As for Kay, he is coming off a tough outing against the Milwaukee Brewers — he went 4.2 innings, allowing three hits, two earned runs, four walks, and struck out five on 92 pitches. Kay is looking to bounce back so he can get his first win.

Facing his former team, Kay is searching for his first win of the season, and since 2021, when he was with the Blue Jays, according to CHSN’s Chuck Garfien. Kay will be pitching to his current teammate, catcher Reese McGuire, who was also his teammate in 2021.
Kay spent four seasons with the Blue Jays (2019-2022) and had a 4-2 record with a 5.48 ERA in 28 games (seven starts). The 31-year-old had spent the last two seasons in the Nippon Professional Baseball Organization with the Yokohama Bay Stars. Kay went 15-15 with a 2.53 ERA and had 249 strikeouts in 291.2 innings with the Bay Stars.
