The Toronto Blue Jays and the Boston Red Sox meet in an AL East division matchup in MLB action from Fenway Park on Sunday.
The Toronto Blue Jays will try to rebound from a 9-8 loss to the Red Sox on Sunday. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. led the way with a three-run home run while Teoscar Hernandez went 3 for 5 with a home run and two RBIs. Lourdes Gurriel Jr., Joe Panik and Travis Shaw each had an RBI to finish off Toronto’s scoring as a team in the loss with Shaw going 2 for 5 with a pair of doubles and Panik going 2 for 5 with a two-bagger of his own. itemdy Tellez went 3 for 6 at the dish while Randal Grichuk had two hits, Derek Fisher added a double and Jonathan Villar added a base hit to round out the offense for Toronto in defeat. Chase Anderson allowed six runs on nine hits while striking out three over four innings of work, not factoring in the decision. Anthony Bass ended up with the loss, falling to 2-3 on the year as a result.
The Boston Red Sox will try to build on their victory over Toronto last time out. Rafael Devers had a home run and three RBIs while Jackie Bradley Jr. added a home run and two RBIs. Bobby Dalbec, Yairo Munoz, J.D. Martinez and Xander Bogaerts each had an RBI with Martinez, Bogaerts and Dalbec each recording a solo home run. Alex Verdugo went 2 for 5 with a double while Christian Vazquez had three hits and Michael Chavis added a base hit as well in the victory. Ryan Weber allowed two runs on five hits while striking out a pair over five innings of work, not factoring in the decision. Mike Kickham got the win in relief to improve to 1-0 on the year. Andrew Triggs will start here and is 0-2 with a 16.20 ERA and 3 strikeouts this season. This will be Triggs’ second career start against Toronto.
Trends will be updated once they’ve been released.
The Blue Jays burned me yesterday as I kept thinking Toronto needs wins with the playoffs in sight and the Yankees on deck and then they go and lose to Boston. Well I’m not giving up faith just yet. Andrew Triggs hasn’t been good giving up six runs in 3.1 innings this season as well as three runs in three innings this past Wednesday. Robbie Ray looks a bit settled with Toronto and this young and powerful lineup behind him and I just think that sparks Ray’s confidence enough to help him lead Toronto to a win here.
