"An 11-game hitting streak and a four-hit performance Sunday did nothing to alleviate the sting that Alex Rios felt after the White Sox wasted his effort in a 9-7 loss to the Blue Jays.

"It's a downer," said Rios, who hit a game-tying home run in the seventh inning and scored what looked like an insurance run in the eighth. "You get pumped up because you're winning and doing well, but things happen. It's part of the game, and you want to get that (win). But you have to bounce back on Tuesday and start winning games."

Rios is batting .353 with three doubles, three home runs and five RBIs against Toronto this season. The Blue Jays waived Rios last year, and the Sox claimed him.

Rough and rougher: Bobby Jenks' ninth-inning struggles overshadowed those of Gavin Floyd and Gordon Beckham.

Floyd allowed four runs in the third that erased a 3-1 lead. Floyd hit two batters and was pulled in the seventh after allowing a walk to No. 9 hitter Jose Molina."
