CHICAGO _ Ryan Cordell got the bunt down.
Yolmer Sanchez did the rest.
Sanchez slid in safely with the go-ahead run on a suicide squeeze in the eighth inning, and the Sox went on to a 4-2 victory against the Blue Jays on Thursday at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Cordell had two hits and two RBIs. Leury Garcia also had two hits and drove in an insurance run with a sacrifice fly that scored Charlie Tilson.
Tilson and Nicky Delmonico also had two hits for the Sox.
Sanchez began the rally in the eighth with a one-out walk. He moved to third on a single by Tilson and scored the go-ahead run just ahead of the underhand toss to the plate by Blue Jays reliever Derek Law.
Sox starter Dylan Covey had his best outing of the season but did not factor in the decision. The right-hander allowed one earned run and two hits in 5 2/3 innings, struck out one and walked two.
It was his second time facing the Blue Jays in less than a week. Covey allowed four runs and three hits in a May 10 loss, walked five and surrendered two home runs.
Covey was much more effective Thursday, at one point retiring 12 in a row.
His only mistake came in the second. He surrendered a solo home run to Freddy Galvis that tied the game at 1.
The Sox regained the lead in the fourth when Delmonico scored on Cordell's infield hit.
The Blue Jays tied the game in the sixth. Randal Grichuk hit a grounder to third for what appeared to be the third out. But Yoan Moncada threw wildly to first, and Eric Sogard scored the tying run.
Covey exited after the play. He lowered his ERA from 5.91 to 4.41.
Kelvin Herrera pitched a scoreless eighth to pick up the win. Alex Colome earned his ninth save.
