The Boston Red Sox pulled out a dramatic 6-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night in 10 innings, their fourth straight win. After being shut out for the first six innings, the Red Sox finally got on the board in the seventh and ninth innings, ultimately erupting for three runs to secure the win in extra innings.
Trevor Story, Vaughn Grissom, and Ceddanne Rafaela were key contributors to the Red Sox offense, driving in runs in crucial moments. The Red Sox nearly emptied their bullpen, using seven relievers in relief of starter Brayan Bello, with Chase Shugart earning his first major league save.
Despite the offensive outburst in extra innings, the Red Sox missed several opportunities earlier in the game, with runners left on base in key situations. However, they were able to capitalize in the late innings to secure the win.
Looking ahead to the final road game of the season, the Red Sox will pitch Richard Fitts against Kevin Gausman of the Blue Jays. This game comes after a challenging stretch of road games in September, where the Red Sox struggled but have now regained their winning momentum.
