CHICAGO — The White Sox tied a team record with seven home runs, but it wasn’t enough as Edwin Encarnacion drove in four runs, Devon Travis homered and the Toronto Blue Jays held on to beat Chicago 10-8 on Saturday.

All seven homers were solo shots. Brett Lawrie became the first White Sox player since Ron Santo in 1974 to hit inside-the-park and over-the-wall homers in the same game, and Chicago hit three straight home runs in the second inning.

Dioner Navarro, J.B. Shuck, Tim Anderson, Alex Avila and Adam Eaton all went deep for the White Sox, who matched the club record set at the Kansas City Athletics on April 23, 1955.

ORIOLES SWEEP RAYS: Matt Wieters hit two homers, and Baltimore rallied from a four-run deficit to beat Tampa Bay 8-6 for a doubleheader sweep at home that extended the Rays’ losing streak to 10 games.

Adam Jones and Chris Davis also homered for the AL East-leading Orioles, who trailed 4-0 in the third inning and 6-3 in the fifth.

In the opener, Kevin Gausman allowed four hits in 72/3 innings to earn his first win of the season and help Baltimore to a 5-0 victory.
