J.D. Martinez and Hunter Renfroe connected back-to-back as the Boston Red Sox won a home run derby, beating Toronto 7-4 Wednesday night in the Blue Jays' final game at their temporary Buffalo home.
In the middle of the third inning, Blue Jays players and coaches came out of the dugout to salute the fans at Sahlen Field.
Including games played at the home of their Triple-A team in 2020, the Blue Jays ended with a 29-20 mark in Buffalo. Their game against Boston on Tuesday night was rained out. The Blue Jays will return to Toronto on July 30 after the Canadian government granted them an exemption to the U.S.-Canada travel ban. The Blue Jays haven't played at Rogers Centre since 2019 because of coronavirus protocols.
Garrett Richards allowed four hits in 5 2/3 innings and won a second straight start for the first time since mid-May. He struck out four.
