The Toronto Blue Jays continued their battles on the mound as they dropped their 4th straight video game, 6-2, to the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Thursday night. Right-hander Kevin Gausman was the most recent starter to get illuminated, enabling 6 runs (5 made) on 7 hits and 3 strolls over 3 1/3 innings.
Gausman had actually opened the video game with 2 best innings, however faced difficulty in the 3rd when he permitted a leadoff single to Rafael Devers. After a double by Xander Bogaerts and a single by J.D. Martinez, the Red Sox had their very first 3 runners in scoring position. Devers and Bogaerts then got back on a ground ball struck by Mitch Moreland, and Martinez scored on a wild pitch to offer the Red Sox a 3-0 lead.
Gausman then enabled a solo crowning achievement to Jackie Bradley Jr. in the 4th to make it 4-0, and after strolling Michael Chavis he was drawn in favor of Derek Law. Law permitted an RBI single to Devers, and after that a sacrifice fly by Bogaerts to make it 6-0.
The Blue Jays lastly got on the board in the 6th inning when Eric Sogard struck an RBI single off Red Sox starter Rick Porcello. They included a run in the ninth when Brandon Drury struck a solo crowning achievement, however that was it for the offense.
It was another frustrating efficiency for Gausman, who has actually now permitted 11 made runs over his last 2 starts. Heaven Jays are hoping he can turn things around quickly, as their beginning pitching has actually been a vulnerable point for much of the season.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox continue to roll, as they have actually now won 5 straight and 15 of their last 19 video games. Heaven Jays will want to return on track when they continue their series with the Red Sox on Friday night.
