TORONTO — Andrew Vaughn tried. He really tried, with the first four-game hit of his career in the White Sox’ 6-5 loss to the streaking Blue Jays on Tuesday night at Rodgers Centre.

Currently the best hitter in a lineup missing Tim Anderson, Luis Robert, Yoan Moncada and Eloy Jimenez, Vaughn homered, doubled and singled in his first three times up against tough Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman (5-3), keeping the short-handed Sox in the game.
