The Toronto Blue Jays had high hopes when they acquired Brandon Morrow in the off-season.

So far, he hasn't delivered.

Morrow allowed seven runs in four innings Wednesday night as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Blue Jays 11-1 before 10,610, the smallest home crowd for the Blue Jays since they moved into the Rogers Centre in 1989.

The Jays obtained the right-hander in an off-season trade with the Seattle Mariners, but his first two starts for his new team have been disappointing and have left him with a 12.00 earned-run average.

Blue Jays manager Cito Gaston said Morrow (0-1) needs to be better.

"He just didn't locate at all," Gaston said. "He struggled out there pretty much like he did over in Baltimore [his first start] except for the first inning. He pitched three good innings in Baltimore, but tonight he just struggled. He just got the ball up at certain times and just didn't hit his spots."

Quentin comes through

Carlos Quentin led the White Sox with a career-best six RBIs, including his third career grand slam in Chicago's four-run fifth inning. Morrow faced five batters in that inning without getting an out.

"I was just trying to get some runs in, bases loaded no outs," Quentin said. "So I was trying to get the ball elevated and to the outfield so that we could at least come away with one and put a good swing on a fastball and it went out of the park."

Andruw Jones also hit a second-inning homer. It was his third homer of the season and the series. He had 390 for his career, 50th on the all-time list.

"They hit a couple pitches that were up," Morrow said. "The slider to Andruw Jones early was a good pitch to hit and he hit it out. Obviously I got myself in trouble in the fifth with the walk and the hit batter.

"Then, I made a decent slider first-pitch to Quentin and then he hit that next pitch [a fastball] which was inside. It wasn't over the middle. He hit that pitch like he knew it was coming."

John Danks, 1-0, pitched seven solid innings using a good changeup effectively and allowed his only two hits and run in the fifth.

Morrow missed some time in spring training with a sore shoulder.

"He is one of the guys that's behind right now as far as pitches," Gaston said. "We really never got to see him pitch a lot in spring training. He didn't pitch a lot. He's still kind of having his spring training right now. We'll see."

Gregg moves to closer

Before the game Gaston said that Kevin Gregg would be the closer for now, instead of Jason Frasor. Frasor blew the save on Monday in a game the Blue Jays lost 8-7 to the White Sox in 11 innings.

Gregg got the save in Tuesday's 4-2 victory. Gregg and Frasor have three saves apiece this season.

"I just had a talk with him; we're just going to reverse the roles a little bit until Frasor can get back to where we think he should be," Gaston said.

Gregg had been a set-up man with Scott Downs.

Gaston said the switch was based more on what Gregg has done so far than Frasor's work.

"It's because of the way he's performed," Gaston said. "He's been absolutely outstanding out there. He's been even better than he was at spring training. I don't think he's gone out there and walked a guy yet. Not the leadoff guy. So just going to reverse it and see what happens."

He said Frasor took it well.

"Frasor's great," Gaston said. "He had no problem. He understands."
