On Tuesday night, the Boston Red Sox secured a thrilling 6-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays in a 10-inning game in Toronto. The Red Sox staged a remarkable comeback after trailing 3-0 heading into the late innings. Vaughn Grissom was instrumental in the win, reaching base four times, scoring once, and driving in a run as the Red Sox extended their winning streak to four games.
Trevor Story delivered the pivotal hit in the 10th inning with a tiebreaking double that sparked a three-run surge for Boston. Story’s double off right-hander Tommy Nance propelled the Red Sox to their first lead of the game. Pinch-hitter Connor Wong and Grissom also contributed RBIs in the 10th inning rally.
The Blue Jays fought back in the bottom of the 10th inning, with Leo Jiménez notching an RBI double to cut the deficit to 6-4. However, Boston’s Chase Shugart managed to escape a bases-loaded jam by inducing a pop-up from Addison Barger to secure his first career save.
Toronto’s offense was led by Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who opened the scoring with a two-run double in the third inning. Despite the strong outing from Guerrero, the Blue Jays have now dropped five consecutive games, including all five home meetings with the Red Sox this season.
The game featured several roster moves, with the Blue Jays optioning RHP Zach Pop and reinstating INF Orelvis Martinez from the suspended list. On the Red Sox side, RHP Richard Fitts is slated to make his fourth career start in the upcoming series finale.
With the win, the Red Sox improved their season record and momentum, while the Blue Jays continue to search for answers amid their recent struggles on the field.
