Buehrle bounces back against old team and clips Sox 4-3
TORONTO -- Former White Sox left-hander Mark Buehrle had the upper hand against his former team on Monday night, providing a vintage Buehrle start over 6 1/3 innings and leading the Toronto Blue Jays to a 4-3 victory at the Rogers Centre. Winning for the first time as a Jay after two subpar outings that resulted in no-decisions, Buehrle started slow but finished well to hand the Sox their sixth loss in seven games on their current road trip. J.P. Arencibia and Macier Izturis each hit home runs against Sox starter Gavin Floyd (0-3), who could not finish the fifth …

Gavin Floyd’s line isn’t pretty, but it still makes White Sox pitcher smile
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Only in spring training can this kind of line summon a smile: 31/3 innings, four runs, seven hits, five strikeouts and one walk. White Sox right-hander Gavin Floyd was trying to tell himself this was the regular season, but he was relieved to know better after his official Cactus League debut Sunday against the Cincinnati Reds, an eventual 7-3 loss. “It’s a great stride,” said Floyd, who allowed two hits in 22/3 scoreless innings Tuesday in an exhibition against Team USA. “I think I improved from the last start and actually went into the fourth inning, which …
