Chicago, IL (My Sportsbook) - Aaron Hill went 2-for-6 with three runs driven in and one scored, as the Toronto Blue Jays scored a season-high 14 runs on a season-high 21 hits in a 14-0 rout of the Chicago White Sox in the opener of a three-game set.

Vernon Wells and Rod Barajas each had three hits and two RBI for the Blue Jays, who won their third straight and seventh in nine tries. Jose Bautista had a solo homer, and every other starter for Toronto had at least one RBI except for Lyle Overbay, who went 0-for-4.

Brian Tallet (1-0) got the win after throwing 5 2/3 innings and giving up just four hits with five strikeouts and three walks.

Chris Getz and Brian Anderson had two hits each to account for four of the six hits for Chicago, which dropped its second straight and third in four tries.

Gavin Floyd (2-2) took the loss after giving up six runs -- five earned -- on nine hits over 4 1/3 innings. He also struck out five and walked as many batters.

"It was just one of those outings," said Floyd. "It was a struggle for me, I didn't attack them like I usually do. Good things can't happen when that happens."

Toronto took the lead in the first inning. Wells had a two-run double and Adam Lind had an RBI double to give the Blue Jays a 3-0 lead.

"It's pretty important as a starting pitcher to get that 3-0 lead," said Tallet. "It really allows you to go out there and do what you want to do - which is attack the zone and force them to hit the ball."

Alex Rios led the third inning off with a double, stole third and crossed home as Scott Rolen cracked a single to center to give the visitors a 4-0 cushion.

The Blue Jays padded their lead a few innings later. A wild pitch by Floyd in the fifth scored Rolen, and Hill added an RBI single to plate Barajas.

Wells opened the sixth with a single off Jack Egbert and Lind followed with a double. Rolen advanced the runners with a groundout and Overbay was issued a free pass. Barajas, Travis Snider and Marco Scutaro kept it going with an RBI single each and Hill stroked a two-run double. Rios launched a sac fly to center and it was 12-0.

Barajas' double in the seventh scored Lind, who doubled to leadoff the frame. Bautista opened the ninth with a homer to left field, which made it 14-0.
