“Obviously, to get to play in front of our fans has given us a boost,” said Toronto starter Hyun Jin Ryu, who struggled and lasted just 3 2/3 innings to match his shortest effort of the season. The Blue Jays were down 7-2 after four innings after the Red Sox sent eight batters to the plate in both the second and fourth innings and scored three runs on each occasion.
“For him to fight off some pitches and ultimately get to first base was huge,” Springer said. “It shouldn’t be overshadowed because that was the at-bat of the game.”
