Blue Jays vs. Red Sox Game Highlights (8/28/24) | MLB Highlights

Gronk and Edelman were here tonight. They were throughout the first pitch took some BP two to varying degrees of success. The champions showing off their arms too has gone out the strike. They caught out Julian saying, you know, hey, that's up and away. And tonight it'll be Bao getting the baseball. He's coming in 11 and six, a at 4.95 taking on a Toronto team that is four games under 500 chopped to the middle. Raffaele is steady fire and in time to get springer swing and a miss struck him out. A slider, puts away bar show first can to, for fastball strike three called good pitch outside corner 97 and a strong 123 1st inning for Brian Bass 27th start of the season for the right hander hasn't had a great year, but it seems like he's always tough against the Red Sox. Jaron Durant leading off for the Red Sox hit hard base hit. He continues in Fuego smashed through the right side of the infield and Jared is aboard to start the Red Sox 1st 2, 79 8 home runs for Kasas Red Sox trying to jump out in front as they did last night. He's going to get him by the inside of the is down and struck by the pitch. Here comes the manager. Oh, no, it was that knee. I thought it hit a little bit higher up there just looked like an odd spot. This is not a good spot to get hit this red Sox team with a couple of base runners and two down and trying to cash in with a couple of knocks last night, throw a man out at home plate full night's work for him to the hole through for a base hit. Here comes Durant Grado firing home but not going to get it and a run scores. The Red Sox take a 1 to 0.I think this is interesting positioning where they had Barger because he's not that far off the line. A guy like Cabre, you're thinking you're going to push Moore in, but it's all because of Jared Durant and his ability to steal a base is going back to third and the bases are going to be loaded at 283 with 11 home runs trying to put a hurt on a guy who has hurt them in the past swing and a miss strike three gets him on a sweeper away and bassitt escapes the jam mostly only given up one. So it's the number eight hitter , Romi Gonzalez, the third baseman again tonight leading it off against Chris Bassitt swing and a Miss went to the breaking ball to get Gonzalez and the two swing and a Miss strike three goes back to the sweeper again. He has struck out three Red Sox in a row chasing sweepers down and away and there are two outs in the bottom of the second and that sweeper at a ton of movement, maybe the most movement I've seen that thing have all season long. That's career strikeout number 1000. Congratulations to Chris Bassitt , Red Sox with a one nothing lead top of the third inning ground ball to the middle. A rangy play by Rafael to spin the throws. Got him there at first. Clement ruled out by the first base umpire Chris Conroy, who this was a nice play by Raffaella. Raffaella comes across spins. Oh, wow, that is bang, bang got hit by a pitch on the knee in the first inning swing and a miss elevated the fastball two down 12 pitch swing and a miss strike three goes up top again with a fastball. This time, a cutter and picks up his fifth strikeout of the game has been really good for the 31 nothing red Sox working quickly , efficiently pounding the zone. He's only needed 38 pitches to get nine outs him up good slider to strike him out. Show fans for the second time. There's another swing and a miss and another slider and Bao is just rolling five strikeouts through four and the Blue Jays go down in order one nothing. Boston a one for one with a base hit. Sox have three hits. Toronto just the one down to first. A great play made by guerrero Bassitt over to cover and Yoshida is retired has been awesome over at first all season long with that glove. He's got quick reactions and he goes and snares that wicked one hopper and Then starts his trek toward the bag and recognizes that Bassett's going to be there in plenty of time. So he makes it easy toss to him on the corner. Bassett gets the call to get wong strikeout number six plate outside. You got to finish this pitch and he delivers two to offer called strike three freezes him on a sinker back to back strikeouts for Bassett and another 123 inning. He has seven punch outs in four innings of one run ball pitches by inning for Bao nine in the third inning, 10 in the 4th, 10 more in the sixth inning total. 70. He's in great shape going in the seventh inning and in strike three got him again 95 miles an hour. His eighth punch out Bale winds and delivers swing and a chopper over the mound and it skips off the glove of the second baseman Hamilton into center field. Hamilton was moving toward the middle of the field and charging it was a bit of a tricky hop but maybe when he should have at least got in front of the first off the glove. A Costas, it comes to Hamilton to go back to first base to get the out 343 Guerrero down to second two away. Yeah, fortunate right here that it kicked off the glove and David Hamilton was right there for it swinging a ground ball to Casas. He goes down, he back hands, he flips to the covering Bale wins the foot race in time and the inning is over. So Bale works around some shaky defense in the inning. Chris Bassitt gave up a run on three hits in the first inning and Then strand of the bases loaded since Then, he's been rock solid and you see, he's got eight strikeouts shot out to center field and a diving one by Marshall and he did not make the catch. It fell in and that's a base hit anyway, 1st and 2nd 1 out sean with a strikeout and a fly out swing and a miss strike three. Got him on the sweeper strikeout number nine for Chris Bassitt. Another good sweeper from Chris Bassitt. Here comes john Schneider. So a big spot here for Brendan Little. The Blue Jays are down 1 to 2 on two out as he comes into the bottom of the seventh. This one high in the air left center, but it is playable for Dalton and that is a big out brandon Little, just got it will close the books on Bassett. It is 1 to 0 at the end of seven. Only one other time in his career has Bale pitched into the eighth inning and that was last year, June of last year against Miami did not get an out in that eighth and the pitch popped up should be harmless, shallow right field. Abreu trotting in a long way in and he makes the catch on the ground ball routine play here for Kasas flipping to Bao and two down swing and a miss and a nifty change up an easy 123 inning for Bao and just magnificent tonight, longest outing of his career eight shutout, two hit innings with nine strikeouts. The Red Sox need it most Brian Bao delivered leads off of the Red Sox. That's a fair ball boxed around by Kirk. He'll have no play. Hamilton's too fast. That's all it takes a split second. You make a mistake and Hamilton standing at first, Kirk just went to the glove and just bobbled it. And now o'neill swings and hits a drive to left way back and gone into the second row of a monster seats. A two run homer for tyler o'neill and a three to nothing Red Sox lead the Red Sox some much needed breathing room in the eighth inning. That was a huge home run right there. Not only for the Red Sox but for o'neil as well, getting that big drive out getting this game to three. So we go to the ninth inning. That'll be kenley looking to lock this one up. He will get 912 in their batting order starting with Will Wagner and a fly to left field o'neill will make the grab down. He goes 96 to strike him out. Two down fly ball. Here comes Durant, that should do it. Red Sox win it three, nothing dominating with pitching tonight and a huge home run by Tyler o'neal. Late. Yeah, big, big game right there. Red Sox have needed some great starting pitching and they got it for Brian Bao, defense did their job, got the outs and Then Tyler o'neill capping it with the two run homer to put this one in the book.
