Toronto Blue JaysvsBoston Red Sox
TOR 6/BOS 1
Things to say
Blue Jays beat the Red Sox 6-1 at Fenway on Tuesday night.
01
opener
Yeah, Jays rolled into Fenway and just took it to Boston, 6-1. Never really felt close after the middle innings. Red Sox bats stayed cold all night.
02
key player
Toronto's lineup did the damage top to bottom — heart of the order finally looked like the heart of the order.
03
hot take
Boston's 29-41 and it's June. That's not a slump, that's who they are.
04
deep cut
Red Sox only scratched across one run at Fenway — in a bandbox, with the Monster sitting right there. That's a bullpen-and-bats problem, not a ballpark problem.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the Jays can stack another one tomorrow — Fenway's a tough place to sweep.
The recap
Blue Jays rolled into Fenway and walked out with a 6-1 win, and honestly it wasn't close after the middle innings. Toronto's bats did the work up and down the order while Boston could only scratch across a single run, which tells you everything about how the night went for the home crowd.
Red Sox now sit at 29-41 and you can feel the season slipping, while Toronto climbs back toward .500 at 35-38. Getaway-day vibes at Fenway, and not the fun kind.
