Blue Jays win their ninth in a row by defeating host White Sox
Eventually and inevitably, the Blue Jays will lose a game. Based on how they have been playing and based on the opponents they will be facing, they may not experience a defeat until after baseball's all-star break. The momentum built from a seven-game home stand sweep carried over into the Windy City, where the Blue Jays recorded back-to-back homers in the fifth inning en route to an 8-4 thumping of the host Chicago White Sox on Monday night. It was Toronto's ninth win in a row. Two more games against the lowly White Sox await, followed by three games in West Sacramento, Calif., against the equally woeful Athletics, whom the Jays swept at home, before the break kicks in, which has the potential to disrupt the surge this team has generated. When all is said and done, the Jays have a realistic chance to establish a franchise record for consecutive wins in a season. The high-water mark is 11. The following are three takeaways on a night when the Blue Jays hit three home runs, while scoring four runs in the sixth inning before an out was recorded. In his 19th start of the season, Jose Berrios faced the White Sox for the second time. When he first faced Chicago in Toronto a fortnight ago, the veteran right-hander earned the win. That day, Berrios gave up two hits and one run in 7.2 innings. On Monday, he gave up his first run in the home half of the second inning. Had Vladimir Guerrero Jr. been able to handle a sharply hit ball at first base, Chicago would not have scored. Guerrero did make amends by drawing a leadoff walk in the fourth, stole second base and came around to score the tying run. Berrios pitched with the lead after Joey Loperfido went deep on a solo shot, one day after he knocked in a run after being called up from Buffalo for the first time this season. Loperfido added a two-run single in the sixth inning Through five innings, Berrios had given up two hits, both singles. When he started the sixth inning, Berrios had all kinds of room for error. No need to have Berrios on the mound to start the seventh, or so it appeared, with the game firmly in control, paving the way for RHP Robinson Pina to make his Blue Jays debut. He gave up two runs in the inning and had two runners on base in the eighth, forcing the Jays to have Nick Sandlin warm up in the bullpen. A one-out base hit scored Chicago's fourth run, prompting the Jays to summon Sandlin. Hard to argue with anything the Jays have done or question any decision the club has made amid so many games being won and the club ascending to first in the AL East. In fact, entering Monday night the Jays had posted a 26-10 record in their past 36 games, a mark that only got better following the evening's outcome. It is perplexing to think Nathan Lukes would be leading off, like he did Monday, when a right-hander starts for the visitors. He has a great eye at the plate and drew a two-out walk in the third inning. Lukes can also go yard, which he did after Loperfido's dinger. Equally perplexing is to think Ernie Clement will be featured atop the order when the Jays are facing left-handers. The role has normally been assigned to Bo Bichette. When Bichette hurt his knee just prior to the series opener against the visiting New York Yankees, a reshuffling of the lineup was initiated. All the Jays did was complete a four-game sweep. The team's lineup has length and having Bichette hit cleanup is the ideal slot for someone known for driving in runners, as evidenced by his RBI single in the fourth inning Monday that tied the game, 1-1. Before Monday night's first pitch, it was announced Springer had been named player of the week for the sixth time in his career and first since 2021 when he garnered the recognition three times with the Blue Jays. His first two honours came when he played for the Houston Astros. His latest laurel was a no-brainer, as Springer lit up the Yankees, among others, to spearhead Toronto's winning streak. A former World Series MVP and four-time all-star, there isn't much Springer hasn't accomplished. At the same time, many had written Springer off with even more wondering if the Jays would even buy out the rest of his contract. One way or another, Springer deserved to be an all-star this season. If one had to decide between Springer and teammate Alejandro Kirk, who was chosen to his second-career all-star team, Springer would get the nod. To be perfectly frank, the team's two all-stars, at least based strictly on performance and merit, should be Kirk, the first two-time all-star catcher in club history, and Springer. The initial voting process is a glorified popularity contest, which is why Vlad Jr. will start at first base for the fourth time in his career. For the record, Springer went 0-for-5 Monday. Second game of a three-game series at Rate Field in Chicago's South Side will feature Chris Bassitt getting the start for the Jays; the veteran right-hander faced the team that drafted him and later traded him when the ChiSox were in town two weeks ago; Bassitt went 6.0 innings, gave up one run on three hits, while walking one and recording seven strikeouts in an 82-pitch outing; the White Sox will counter with RHP Aaron Civale, who is looking for his first win of the season.

Ever Thought You Could Smoke Meat in an Oven? This Chef Proves You Can
There's something irresistible about the deep, smoky flavor of meat that's been slow-cooked to perfection. From brisket and ribs to turkey and ham, smoked meat brings bold, rich flavor to everything it touches and makes any meal feel like an occasion. But if you don't have a backyard smoker or pellet grill, you might think it's out of reach. The good news is you don't need fancy equipment to get that same smoky depth at home. With a few easy techniques, you can bring smokehouse flavor to your kitchen using just your stovetop or oven. Whether you're prepping for a summer cookout or want to level up your next dinner, here's how to smoke meat without stepping outside. Tim Cottini, executive chef of Chicago's Bub City, whom I met at the annual Windy City Smokeout, is an expert in imparting smoke into all types of proteins. I tasked him with walking us through the steps it takes for any amateur cook in need of assistance. How to smoke in an oven or stovetop Smoking in an oven or on a stovetop is not out of the realm of possibility. In fact, all you need is some wood chips to achieve the desired flavor. Safety first Don't try this method unless your kitchen has proper ventilation including an exhaust, windows and additional fan. gerenme/Getty Images Because you'll be cooking inside, it's recommended to keep it to a light smoke so you don't set off all the fire alarms and compromise your home's air quality. What's cooking the food is low and slow heat, but this method adds a waft of smoke to impart flavor to the ribs, brisket or chicken inside. Also, you'll want to ensure you have excellent ventilation in the kitchen with an exhaust fan, windows and possible added fans to manage the smoke. If you do it right, the smoke shouldn't become unbearable, but always be prepared for the worst. Cottini's top tips to for smoking meat in an oven Applewood chips are a popular pick for savory foods such as salmon and ribs. Getty Pick your wood chip. "For the type of wood chips, it's really a matter of personal taste but for chicken, I like applewood or cherrywood. With pork I like hickory or mesquite chips. Brisket and beef go best with hickory." Opt for higher fat meats. "Meats higher in fat with lots of connective tissue, like pork shoulder, brisket, leg of lamb, ribs, and pork belly, absorb smoke flavor best. As these meats cook, the intramuscular tissue breaks down and the fat incorporates the smoky flavor. Cooking these meats low and slow, for multiple hours, will make sure that the flavor deeply penetrates the meat and makes the most of the fat rendering process. Lean meats work as well but they need to be cooked quicker to avoid them drying out." Season and marinate your meat but first determine if it's going to be a dry or wet brine. "For the dry method, apply your favorite spice rub directly on the meat's exterior, like a dry rub on pork shoulder. At Bub City, we let it sit for 4 to 5 hours before cooking to allow the seasoning to permeate the meat, which then gets amplified during cooking as the fat renders." Combine stovetop and oven cooking for maximum flavor. "On a stovetop, get the wood chips smoking on one side of a deep pan [on high heat for about five minutes], then place a 2-inch perforated pan over them with the meat in it, but offset from the [location of] wood chips. Cover both pans with foil and smoke. "Do it this way [for 10-30 minutes on medium-low heat, depending on the size and type of meat] to add the flavor without overcooking it. Then, remove [the meat] and finish cooking it the rest of the way in the oven, on the grill, or even in a slow cooker Always smoke the meat indirectly. "This means that you should put your wood chips on one side of your heat source and position the meat opposite it so that it's not directly over the smoking chips." A simple brine will help seal that smoky flavor inside. Ry Crist/CNET "If you want to do a wet brine, it depends on what type of meat you're smoking," Cottini says. "If you're doing smoked chicken for pulled chicken sliders, for example, I'd recommend brining for 24 to 48 hours, and then letting it air-dry for 24 hours before seasoning the exterior with a salt-sugar-spice rub mixture. That will ensure that the chicken develops a tackiness so your seasoning adheres properly." Step four can be tailored to the type of meal you're preparing. Cottini says that lean meats and fish can be made quickly (sometimes in as little as 5-10 minutes depending on filet thickness) or you can transfer proteins like pulled chicken to a slow cooker for a low and slow cooking process that will maintain the initial smoke infusion. Leaner meat and seafood will need less time to absorb the smoky flavors of your woodchips. Alaskan Salmon Company "You can also brush your items with sauce and and then finish in a broiler to get a nice glazed, lacquered finish and char," he adds. No matter the meal, keep the no-contact rule in mind when it comes to meat and wood chips. They should never touch so that the flavor is merely a whisper and not a full-fledged assault to the tastebuds.
