Blue Jays 5, Red Sox 3

 

Walker Buehler served up batting practice in the first inning, giving up consecutive homers on two back-to-back pitches. Boston tied the game up in the second, but then Buehler gave up to more runs on two hits and three walks in the fourth, and that was it for today's Exercise in Futility.

The Red Sox lose again. Seven losses in the last ten games after an 8-2 win streak. .500 baseball either way. The Blue Jays leave Fenway two games further ahead of Boston in the standings than when they entered.

Next up is a three-game home series against the Cincinnati Reds (44-40). Starting pitchers tomorrow are, oh, does it matter? We're gonna fuckin' lose.
