Bo Bichette hit a two-run homer for fourth-place Toronto, which fell to 10 1/2 games behind in the East
A day after being no-hit for seven innings by New York’s Domingo German before putting up five runs in the eighth to erase a four-run deficit and beat the rival Yankees, Boston’s bats were held down until Verdugo belted his drive over the Red Sox bullpen off Trevor Richards .“It’s hard to get 27 outs against us. We know that,” Boston manager Alex Cora said. “It’s a tough place to play. You can feel the energy. In the eighth inning, they were a little bit louder, expecting something big.
Verdugo took his time rounding the bases, enjoying the moment. On Sunday, he broke up the no-hitter with a deep double to right.Adam Ottavino worked a scoreless inning for the win. Matt Barnes got the final three outs for his 22nd save.Bichette hit his drive over the Green Monster off Nick Pivetta, a shot that hit a wall behind the first row and bounced back onto the field to make it 4-3.
“My body felt good, my arm felt good, felt like the stuff was coming out pretty good,” he said. “For the most part, I felt like my stuff was arriving where I wanted it to. I felt like they made some good swings on some pretty good pitches.”“It was a definite grind for me. The energy wasn’t really there,” Pivetta said. “The team did an incredible job for me. It’s incredible how they come back like this.
