TORONTO — Another loss and a lack of timely hitting left White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen feeling worn out.
Corey Patterson hit a game-ending homer in the 14th inning, Jose Bautista hit his major league-high 20th homer and the Blue Jays beat Chicago 9-8 on Saturday.
After his team came back from 8-6 down through seven to tie it in the ninth, Guillen was steamed after it squandered several chances in extra innings. Chicago put the go-ahead run at third with one out in the 11th but failed to score.
"Before the ninth, everything was good. After the ninth, it was very, very bad," Guillen said.
Chicago stranded 10, four in extra innings, and went 5-for-18 with runners in scoring position.
"I feel like I'm in September right now," the manager said. "If you ask all my coaches, they feel the same way. And we're not even in June yet."
