Blue Jays vs. Red Sox Game Highlights (8/27/24) | MLB Highlights

The Red Sox were just a game out of the wild card race on the morning of August 7th. Doesn't feel like that long ago , but now five behind ever, a ball club needed a win streak against the Red Sox right now, George Springer who had a three run homer last night, a home run in the day game as well and get him. He says it got him and the home umpire, Brian agrees. So Springer is on his way down to first. It didn't look like is going to acknowledge it until spring pointed his cap and it hit me and said, ok, here is, our show has been an elite defender. 28 defensive runs saved the most in baseball. So fly that to center field, driving back, Durant a little bit, size it up and Springer back to first one away. So one down and here's Vladimir guerrero Junior and Vlady just keeps on stinging the baseball up the middle of dive and a miss by Raffaello that's off into the alley. Durant to cut it off. Springer is racing into third here. Vlad diving to second. He's out by 10 ft. He is tossed out at second. He got a little bit greedy. I mean, the ball beats him by a mile, but this is just bad base running right here. You got to think about this. The play is right in front of you and a lot of times what you do as a baserunner, you see that ball going to second base, the second baseman is blind to where you're running and they usually go and put the tag down first now, ball four to Horwitz. So the inning will continue with Springer a third Horwitz. Now at first two down in an early opportunity for Addison Barger smokes that one but caught by Hamilton. First of all, a little bit fortunate to get out of that inning. Rodriguez will make his 16th start of the season. He actually was the starter in that game that was suspended on June 26th. He faced four batters in that game and reality is he really has had a tough stretch lately. Jarren Duran who had a big second game last night with a AA single and a long home run high drive into right field down in a pesky pole. Did he sneak one in there? Yes, he did home run number 20 where the wall runs out. It dropped into the right field seats four or five rows back and Jared Durant has led off the bottom of the first with a home run and it's one nothing red Sox. There's number 20. It's a huge number that every player strives to get to for a home run total. Stay hot. Three 169 ft. This is a fly ball to left loper Fto going back and has room on the warning track. Here comes Tyler o'neil at 261 with 23 home runs and he's driven in total of 47 runs. There's a swing and a miss to get o'neil two down Tristan Costas. The batter take a walk. He's on here with two down in front of and it's going to be a fair ball. How is that fair? I believe it got the first baseman did it not. And that actually leaves the ballpark so it's going to be two and put runners at 2nd and 3rd. Yeah, right there. So it's a double and Sox in business 2nd and 3rd for Masataka you at 292 and nine home runs off the middle and through for a base hit Casas will score. Graham coming around. He will score quick start for the Sox three. Nothing. That's big couple of runs, you know, one run cushion is nice. Durant sets the tone leadoff homer but be able to tack on a couple here with a huge at bat two out RB I single soto who's got good speed is at first two down. Here's will Wagner Wagner hits this ball well to deep left center field and it's high off the monster Wagner with an extra base hit that will chase. He is out at home, he is out at home. Let's see if they challenge the play the Red Sox with another outstanding relay. They've done it a couple of times tonight and let's see what they to do and not going to challenge it. Got him at home. That's a great play, good relay off the wall. Wow, that is really close. I think Boston, we go to the third one down and here's Guerrero glad he had a base hit his first time up but was out trying to stretch it. And here's another one, a liner to left center and this ball is hit so hard. It's getting to the wall. Springer is on his way to third. He will be held, he slides to a stop and crawls back to the bag on a double by guerrero. Now you have guys on 2nd and 3rd 1 out and you're cooking and guerrero just keeps adding to now, what's the best single season total in his career? 37 doubles for Black and he'll take the walk, won't force anything. He'll pass the baton to Addison. Barger lifts a high fly ball to center field. Durant setting up Springer will tag and he'll easily come to score and the Blue Jays are on the board on the sack fly by Barger. It is three to one, 31 red Sox batter will Wagner who doubled off the green monster to left center his first time up. This is a fair ball and it's going to go down towards the corner. Clement is on his way to third. Wagner digging for second and he's in there with his second double of the game and the Blue Jays threatening again. 2nd and 3rd 1 out. Two men in scoring position. Top of the order George Springer for the third time against the righty weiser fly that one to right in fair territory. Staggers a bit. Makes the catch. Here comes the runner and he trying to turn around but he's out. The Red Sox have done it again. Clement went diving toward the plate, didn't get the plate but Jansen wasn't able to apply the tag. So the blue Jays have another runner thrown out at home. That's two and they've had three men thrown out on the bases in four innings. The Red Sox have scored three runs in the first inning and made him stand up with some very good fortune as Toronto's left eight men on and three men thrown out of the bases smoked a high drive left field heading back to the wall off the green, back to Lorado and into second base. It's an easy double for sedan. Raffaella. Nice start. That's a good sign from sedan. He gets a breaking ball up looks like a little slider, maybe even a little cutter away, but sedan is a nice job. He usually does a nice job with hanging breaking balls right, he can get on top of those one out. So the key hitter becomes Hamilton who twice has flied the left, both hit pretty well and a base hit make it 4 to 1. Sean Will score Hamilton with the RB I it's four to one just missed. His spot was trying to go up and in a little bit out over the plate just out past the reach of Will Wagner. Here comes cos who walked and scored in the first and struck out liner and down the line, it goes. Here comes another run. Hamilton will score, will pick up the RB I, he trots into second with a double 5 to 1. Boston to me, that's a bad pitch. You got a slider, you beat him on the slider right now, you throw the curveball. Now he's going to be out in front of the curveball. So if I can beat with the slider and I'm late on it, you just sped up my bat with the curveball and another one sucked and that's off the glove of Wagner right here comes another run home for Kas to score. Second hit tonight for William a little bit of everything. 6 to 1. Brennan Bernardino is the new pitcher for the Red Sox. As we go to the sixth inning, he inherits a six to one lead. Now will Wagner Wagner is two for two with two doubles tonight and in the air to right center hit well and back at the wall and it is gone. It's into the bullpen and it took a moment for Will Wagner to be sure. But he just hit his first major league home run. First major league home run for Will Wagner comes at Fenway Park. He plants it in the red Sox bullpen and the Blue Jays are back on the board. It's 62 for Boston. That's a long way out of that bullpen in right field and he hit that ball hard. Two great swings the opposite field. His first two at bats, a pair of doubles in and it's his first big league homer right here at Fenway Park. The ninth inning of the Red Sox are up 6 to 2 as Kenley Jansen has come into the game, a guy who has been at it for a long, long time, two men down in the ninth and the Red Sox on the verge of breaking the losing streak here, a much needed victory. Here's a drive to center field and this one is gone. He hit that a ton his 16th of the season and it is 6 to 3. That is quite a swing after he pulled the ball over the roof down. The first baseline. Here comes Vlad Guerrero junior bounding ball Hamilton into the outfield. Plenty of time, gets it to score tonight. 6 to 3. And the Red Sox snap the losing streak. Red Sox beat the Blue Jays 6 to 3, they go to 68 and 64. Toronto drops to 65 and 69.
