The Red Sox won 6-5 on Sept. 24, 2024.The Boston Red Sox kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a come-from-behind 6-5 victory in 10 innings against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night.
Blue Jays starter Bowden Francis was his typically dominant self to begin the game, striking out the first two batters he faced before retiring first baseman Triston Casas with a weak fly out.Shortstop Trevor Story began the game’s offensive festivities with a double to lead off the second inning and then advanced to third on a groundout by left fielder Masataka Yoshida.
Centre-fielder Joey Loperfido walked to begin the bottom of the third and then stole second to give the Blue Jays their first runner in scoring position. Left fielder Nathan Lukes walked as well shortly after, giving way to star slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who ripped a double off the centre field wall to score both runners and give the Blue Jays a 2-0 lead.
Grissom doubled off the wall in left-centre to lead off the fifth, narrowly beating a strong relay throw to slide safe into second. But Francis responded again, getting Abreu to foul out, Jansen to ground out to third, and then Ceddanne Rafaela to fly out to the right-field wall to keep his shutout bid alive.
Right-hander Luis Garcia came on in relief in the bottom of the seventh inning and kept Boston’s comeback hopes alive. Garcia made quick work of the Blue Jays’ hitters, retiring Joey Loperfido, Springer and Lukes in just seven pitches.
