Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had two hits and two RBIs, Davis Schneider homered and Chris Bassitt pitched six sharp innings as the Toronto Blue Jays pushed their winning streak to 10 games with a rain-shortened 6-1 victory over the host Chicago White Sox on Tuesday.

The game was called following a one-hour, 24-minute rain delay with the Blue Jays batting in the top of the seventh.

Toronto, sitting in first place in the American League East, continued its longest tear since the 2015 team won 12 in a row. The Blue Jays out-hit the White Sox 12-4 while sending Chicago to its sixth loss in eight games.

A five-run third inning against White Sox starter Aaron Civale proved the difference for Toronto. Schneider started the rally with a leadoff home run before Guerrero Jr. drove in his first run with an RBI double.

Addison Barger (double) and Alejandro Kirk (single) added run-scoring hits in the inning before Joey Loperfido's RBI groundout.

George Springer, Kirk and Loperfido had two hits apiece for Toronto. That was ample support for Bassitt (9-4), who surrendered a solo shot to Josh Rojas in the sixth but was otherwise unblemished. The veteran right-hander scattered four hits with one walk and one strikeout.

He threw just 78 pitches before the delay.

Civale fell to 1-6 after losing for the fourth time in five starts since joining the White Sox in mid-June. He yielded five runs on seven hits in four innings, with two walks and zero strikeouts.

Chicago threatened in the bottom of the first inning, as Mike Tauchman delivered a leadoff double before Lenyn Sosa was hit by a pitch. Bassitt emerged unscathed, however, getting a flyout before inducing Miguel Vargas to hit a double-play groundout to short.

Reinstated from the 10-day injured list before the game, White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. (strained left hamstring) went 1-for-2.

Brooks Baldwin initially was set to start in left field for Chicago but was scratched before the game with lower back tightness and replaced by Austin Slater.

Guerrero Jr. added an RBI single in the sixth.
