Looks like all the Toronto Blue Jays needed was a little break.
Coming off the All-Star pause, the Blue Jays bats are on fire against the Boston Red Sox, totalling 25 runs through only five innings to set a franchise record.
Bo Bichette hit an RBI in the first, Matt Chapman carried the momentum with a two-run home run in the second. It was a good start… then it got silly.
The Blue Jays compiled hit after hit in the third inning, capping it off with an inside-the-park grand slam from Raimel Tapia thanks to Jarren Duran’s blunder where he lost trade of a fly-ball in centre field. 10-0 Toronto.
In the fourth, Teoscar Hernandez hit a solo dinger. Then Danny Jansen crushed a three-run bomb. Make that 14-0.
Can’t get much worse than that for the Red Sox, right? Right…
The Blue Jays saved the worst (so far) for the fifth inning. First Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit a single, 15-0. Then, with two outs, Chapman hit a fly-ball high in the air, and it finally seemed as though Boston would get out of an inning without too much damage.
But while that ball floated in the air, three Red Sox players
More to come.
