The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Boston Red Sox 6-4 on Wednesday night, extending their winning streak over their division rivals to at least three games.
A pivotal moment came in the eighth inning when Red Sox catcher Willson Contreras dropped a pop-up in foul territory. Kazuma Okamoto singled in the go-ahead run on the next pitch, per Sportsnet's game coverage. According to Deadspin, the inning proved decisive as Toronto scored five runs in the frame.
Ernie Clement and Myles Star each drove in two runs for the Blue Jays, per Sportsnet. Sources disagree on the precise streak: Sportsnet reported this as Toronto's fourth consecutive win, while other outlets characterized it as the third straight victory over Boston specifically. Louis Varland recorded the save, per Reddit user posts tracking the game.
