Toronto Blue JaysvsBoston Red Sox
TOR 4/BOS 6
Things to say
The Red Sox beat the Blue Jays 6-4 at Fenway.
01
opener
Sox took it 6-4 at Fenway. Toronto hung around, but Boston's bats woke up late. Good win to grab the series.
02
key player
The heart of the order carried it. A couple of those balls left the yard, and that was the ballgame.
03
hot take
Honestly the Jays lost that one in the pen. Their manager went to relief too early and it bit him.
04
deep cut
Toronto's WHIP has been creeping all month. You saw it again tonight, too many free passes to the bottom of the order.
05
exit
Anyway, getaway day tomorrow, so we'll see if Boston can finish the sweep before they hit the road.
The recap
Red Sox took this one 6-4 at Fenway, and they did it the way you want to on a getaway day: grab the lead, then let the bullpen slam the door. Boston's bats got into the Toronto starter early and left the yard enough to build a cushion the Blue Jays could never quite claw back.
Toronto scratched across four and made it interesting late, but the heart of their order went quiet when it counted. Sox lock down the series win and nudge back over .500 at 53-49.
