Fred Lewis belted a three-run homer in the ninth inning to lead the Toronto Blue Jays to a come-from-behind 9-7 win over the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field Sunday.
Lewis' blast made a loser out of Bobby Jenks, who didn't retire a batter in the contest. Travis Snider and John Buck began the ninth inning with hits before Lewis smacked his second homer of the season. The Jays added another run in the ninth on an RBI single by Alex Gonzalez.
Jason Frasor (2-1) got the win for Toronto and Kevin Gregg earned his ninth save of the season.
Vernon Wells hit his ninth home run of the season for Toronto. Alex Rios homered for the White Sox, his sixth of the season.
The Blue Jays won three games of the four-game series and have won seven of their last games.
Jenks was charged with four runs on four hits and fell to 1-1.
The game was tied at 4-4 after the third inning but Chicago scored two times in the seventh and added another in the eighth. Rios finished with four hits and Carlos Quentin had three.
