The Toronto Blue Jays got swept by the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. Their 3-game series loss sparked wild reactions among fans on social media, as many celebrated the feat of the American League Central team.

The Blue Jays, who are the defending American League Champions, have struggled so far in the 2026 season. After sweeping the Athletics to start the season, they lost 2 out of 3 against the Colorado Rockies and ended up dropping that series.

On Friday, the White Sox would walk off the Toronto-based side 5-4 after 10 innings. This was followed by a 6-3 win on Saturday, meaning that the Southsiders had a chance to do something on Sunday that they had not done in over 30 years.

A 3-0 shutout win saw them win the series and complete the sweep of the Blue Jays. A triple from Miguel Vargas in the first inning, a double from Lenyn Sosa in the third inning and a single from Austin Hays in the fourth inning were followed by six strong innings from starting pitcher Davis Martin.

The 29-year-old gave up just 4 hits and picked up 6 strikeouts. Relief pitchers Bryan Hudson, Jordan Leasure and Chris Murphy combined to give up just 2 hits in 3 innings and preserved the lead.

This marked the first time since September 1995 that the White Sox had swept the Blue Jays in a 3-game series at home. After going 1-5 on the road to start the season, the AL Central side kicked off its homestand with a 3-0 record. The last time they started 3-0 in Chicago was in the 2004 season.

Last November, the Blue Jays were 2 outs away from a first World Series championship since going back-to-back in 1992 and 1993. A 9th inning home run from Miguel Rojas tied the game at 4-4 at Rogers Centre.

A 11th inning home run from Will Smith and a double play in the bottom of the frame saw the Dodgers emerge as 5-4 winners and repeat as champions. It was the ultimate heartbreak for the Blue Jays as they were 3-0 in Game 7 and were leading the series 3-2 after 5 games.

The defending champions have started the 2026 season in strong fashion. After a series loss against the Cleveland Guardians, they swept the Washington Nationals 3-0, outscoring their division rivals 31-17 in the 3-game series.
