Blue Jays defeated 7-6 by Red Sox

Connor Wong broke the tie with his second homer of the game on Tuesday, propelling the Boston Red Sox to a 7-6 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.

Wong had four hits including a solo homer in the eighth, two innings after his first shot.

The catcher also hit a double in the second and a single in the fourth.

His second homer was hit against Erik Swanson (1-1).

” It was great. It feels good to see the hard work pay off,” said Wong, who also homered Sunday against the Guardians.

Masataka Yoshida and Christian Arroyo also hit the long ball for the Red Sox, who have won their last four games.

Yoshida has hit for sure in 12 straight games, helping Boston to 14 hits.

“They’re not good at bat,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said. We ran after trouble a bit, but we have to tip our hats to them. »

The Blue Jays lost their third straight game.

All of their runs came in the sixth, including a Daulton Varsho three-run homer.

Vladimir Guerrero provided a two-run single, while Bo Bichette crossed the plate on a passed ball.

“There’s almost no lead that’s a safe bet at Fenway Park,” Schneider said. It’s not an easy place to play. »

George Springer ended the match by hitting in a double play.

Richard Bleier (1-0) pitched in the eighth and Josh Winckowski earned the save.

Yusei Kikuchi allowed five runs and nine hits over four and a third innings.

On Wednesday, the starting pitchers will be Alek Manoah (1-1) and Canadian Nick Pivetta (1-2).
