The Red Sox sweep the three-game series and are still undefeated in seven games once morest the Jays this season.
Boston is dangerously close to two and a half games behind John Schneider’s men and fourth in the American League East.
The Jays gave in at the curtain raiser when Jarren Duran crossed the plate thanks to a single from Rafael Devers. The Dominican produced a second run in the game two sets later. Duran had quite the game for the Red Sox. The 26-year-old had an impressive five hits, including four doubles.
Brandon Belt quickly replied for the locals by slamming a solo homer in the first inning. He stretched his arms once more in round six. It was the 35-year-old veteran’s first long pitch since June 7 once morest the Houston Astros.
Bo Bichette, who had a strong game the day before by hitting a home run, once once more distinguished himself during Sunday’s game. He drove in two runs on a third-inning double that put his team ahead.
Trailing by two runs in the seventh inning, the Red Sox didn’t give up scoring twice in that inning.
Alex Verdugo then broke the back of the Toronto representatives by hitting his sixth bomb of the season in the final inning to guide his team to victory.
The Queen City team will enjoy a day off before traveling to Chicago on Tuesday to face the White Sox. Toronto swept the three-game series once morest the White Sox earlier this season at Rogers Center.
