Trout homered to right against Gausman on a fastball with two outs in the first.
The Angels loaded the bases in the fourth on a single, a walk and an error before Gustavo Campero bounced back to Gausman to start an inning-ending, home-to-first double play.
Bichette atoned for his error in the top of the inning by driving an 0-1 changeup from Tyler Anderson off the facing of the second deck for a home run to lead off the home fourth. Toronto added a run in the inning when Myles Straw doubled and scored on Joey Loperfido's single to right. Loperfido was thrown out after rounding first base.

Bichette led off the home sixth with a walk and took third on Alejandro Kirk's flare single to left. Davis Schneider hit an RBI single to left for Toronto's go-ahead run.
Brock Burke replaced Anderson, who allowed three runs, eight hits and two walks with two strikeouts. Burke ended the threat with a double-play grounder and a groundout.

White Sox hope to put an end to Blue Jays' winning streak
A common refrain during the Toronto Blue Jays' best winning streak in a decade has been "it's a different guy every night." White Sox hope to put an end to Blue Jays' winning streak With Toronto's tear at nine games entering Tuesday's visit to the Chicago White Sox, someone theoretically must contribute a repeat heroic performance to keep the streak alive. Toronto will seek to secure its fifth straight series victory after earning an 8-4 win in the series opener Monday. Joey Loperfido, Nathan Lukes and Addison Barger homered while Bo Bichette and Loperfido delivered two hits apiece. Toronto navigated a late White Sox rally to hold on. The Blue Jays are on their first nine-game winning streak since the 2015 club won 12 straight. Monday marked the home debut of White Sox rookie shortstop Colson Montgomery, who walked and scored a run. Leadoff man Mike Tauchman delivered three hits, including a two-run single. "We're getting some good at-bats and good swings and hopefully we can keep putting those together tomorrow," Chicago manager Will Venable said. Toronto has clicked since losing two of three to the visiting White Sox from June 20-22. The Blue Jays have won 12 of 14 while benefiting from solid pitching and an opportunistic attack. Shortly after earning plaudits as American League Player of the Week, Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer went 0-for-5 Monday. But the rest of the lineup picked him up as Toronto won again. This time, it was Loperfido who excelled in his second game since being recalled from Triple-A Buffalo. " games are on ... in our clubhouse down there. Everybody's pulling for everybody," Loperfido said. "There have been some Bisons that have come up here and contributed all season long. ... I think it speaks to the culture of the organization. "Guys are rooting for each other and pulling for each other because they know how hard it is to do it up here." Veteran right-hander Aaron Civale will start for the White Sox as he tries for his first victory since joining Chicago in mid-June. Civale is 0-3 with a 4.29 ERA in four starts with the White Sox. He is coming off Thursday's road loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, when he yielded five runs, two earned, and five hits in five innings. Civale lost to the host Blue Jays on June 21, allowing five runs and nine hits in a season-high seven innings. Civale issued just one walk for the fourth time this season but proved susceptible to the long ball, as Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. both reached him for solo home runs. Toronto righty Chris Bassitt took a no-decision against the White Sox one day later, allowing one run and three hits in six innings with one walk and seven strikeouts. Bassitt will start for the Blue Jays on Tuesday. In his last start, Bassitt pitched 5 2/3 innings of three-run, eight-hit ball to defeat the New York Yankees, picking up his first win since June 10. He walked three and struck out nine, one shy of his season high. Bassitt has pitched effectively versus the White Sox in his career, going 5-2 with a 2.78 ERA in 10 starts. Civale is 2-4 with a 5.40 ERA in six starts against Toronto. Field Level Media This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Schanuel walks with bases loaded in 9th to lift Angels over Rangers 6-5
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Nolan Schanuel drew a bases-loaded walk from Hoby Milner in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Los Angeles Angels a 6-5 win over the Texas Rangers on Monday night. Schanuel walks with bases loaded in 9th to lift Angels over Rangers 6-5 Travis d'Arnaud hit an early two-run homer off Texas starter Jacob deGrom and finished with three RBIs. Corey Seager launched a two-run shot off Yusei Kikuchi to put the Rangers ahead 2-0 two batters into the game. Josh Smith had an RBI double for Texas that tied it at 5 in the eighth. Luis Rengifo doubled off Rangers reliever Chris Martin to open the ninth and went to third on Kevin Newman's one-out single to left field. Zach Neto was intentionally walked to load the bases. Texas manager Bruce Bochy summoned Milner for a lefty-lefty matchup with Schanuel, who fought back from an 0-2 count before taking a 3-2 changeup below the strike zone for his second career walk-off RBI. The Angels turned a 4-3 deficit into a 5-4 lead in the sixth when Rengifo singled with two outs, d'Arnaud hit an RBI double and LaMonte Wade Jr. followed with a pinch-hit RBI single. But the Rangers tied it against reliever Sam Bachman with two outs in the eighth. Jake Burger reached on a wild pitch when strike three in the dirt got past d'Arnaud and then scored from first on Smith's double. An anticipated pitchers' duel between All-Star starters didn't materialize, as deGrom gave up three runs and five hits in five innings while Kikuchi allowed four runs and six hits in five innings.

Mike Tauchman had three hits and two RBIs for the last-place White Sox, who won two of three at Toronto last month. Colson Montgomery, one of the team's top prospects, went 0 for 3 with a walk in his home debut. The Blue Jays opened an 8-1 lead when they scored five times in the sixth. Barger hit a two-run drive off Sean Burke for his 12th homer, and Loperfido chopped a two-run single over a drawn-in infield. Burke was charged with six runs and six hits in five-plus innings. The right-hander allowed two earned runs in 16 1/3 innings over his previous three outings. Loperfido and Lukes hit back-to-back homers in the fifth, giving Toronto a 3-1 lead. It was Loperfido's first homer of the season and No. 5 for his career. It was Chicago's eighth consecutive home loss against Toronto. Chris Bassitt starts for Toronto on Tuesday night, and fellow right-hander Aaron Civale pitches for Chicago.
