Overview
- Toronto completed a three-game sweep of Boston with a 4-3 win that was decided by Brandon Valenzuela’s two-out, ninth-inning double off Aroldis Chapman.
- Starter Trey Yesavage worked into the eighth inning, allowing three runs over 7 1/3 innings with six strikeouts and no walks before Boston tied the game with back-to-back homers.
- Tommy Nance recorded the final two outs of the eighth to earn the win and Mason Fluharty retired the ninth in order to record his first career save.
- Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Nathan Lukes supplied early offense with solo homers against Sonny Gray, and Toronto improved to 5-1 against Boston this season.
- The loss deepens concern about Boston’s Fenway performance, which reports show as one of the worst home records in the majors this season and could force lineup or bullpen adjustments.
