Blue Jays vs. Red Sox Game 2 Highlights (8/26/24) | MLB Highlights

Everybody and welcome into the women's celebration game at Fenway Park for the second game of a double header in Boston and a little bit of history in the booth as well as Riley Pay. And I will be joining dave O, Brian kevin, you and Jammi Webster on the broadcast. And Riley, what is this moment for you means everything to be able to cover these prospects in the minor league level, double play prospects coming up to make their big league debut. And we really special for us to sit down today. Take a second in the booth, look down at Fenway Park and see it all through their eyes as well. At least at the start, it will be Zack Kelly five and 2274 earned run average. Springer got the first run home in the first game of this twin Bill with a long home run to left. This one is popped up by Springer Gasper there right on the cut of the grass and he's got it. And here comes Joey Lodo, the center fielder in there for strike three fastball 97 to freeze him and two down. So two down of the bases empty for Vladimir Guerrero Junior pitch. He'll wrap that to third on the second half and Kelly off to a nice start gets him 123. Perez is on a pretty positive run. He's won his last three starts and he's gone seven innings in each of those three starts. Jared Durant hitting a 2 89 65 runs batted in. Shot to the gap that one rising up off the Durant racing into second base. He's got himself another aa hot start for Jaren tonight. That will be doubled. Number 41 leading the American League and brings up Abreo at 268 with 14 home runs and he swung at that and it hit him. It is a strikeout on the appeal. So that's a really painful at bat that hurts too because that's a dead ball and Jared Durant has to go back to second base 278 home runs, 15 runs batted in and he'll line that one in the center field. Durant take off for third. He will stop there as the throw is flipped back in. So he gets that knock against Jose Barrios and on the corners with one down first and third with one out for this is popped up. Clement, the shortstop back into shallow left field will make the catch and that is a big second out. Now they're not away from getting out of it. The Blue Jays are Barrios can get Tyler o'neal. Did he go? Yes, he did. And Barrios gets out of it. Nothing across for the Red Sox in the bottom of the first Zack Kelly opening up and no activity in that bullpen. So going to keep on firing away. It is strike three called zack Kelly has been awesome. Now, Leo Jimenez hitting 2 22 3 homers 30 pitch up and in ball four and the Blue Jays get their first base runner, Leo Jimenez takes four pitch walk. He draws the walk and he should first year for Stewart for strike three cutter 94 to freeze him second strikeout in the inning for Kelly that will bring up springer the pop to short and that is outside ball four. So the second walk given up in the inning. So two on two out for Joey Lodo that one behind the bag fair. Costas will take it. He'll flip to the pitcher and Kelly gets out of the one down. Now, back to the top of the order to a suddenly red hot J Durant. Another shot to the alley that's extra base that's up against the side out there. He's the second for a split second. He thought about three but back to second base and yet another double good choice. Another good job just going the other way brings bre whipped his first trip to one and a swing and a miss comes back to strike him out two down Here comes Cora , he is thrown out of the ball game. William Bre has been running now. He was barking back at Clemens on that pitch that he thought did not get the strike zone, but he did so. Durant at second with two away base hit his first time up into the outfield. Durant heading to third and he'll pull up there. He is fun to watch every single time he gets on this field line drive base it into left field. That one will score Red Sox on top 1 to 0 16 RB I off to good start tonight for two. That's why you don't pick off at second base Schneider. I don't think he scores from second base here. That's why a lot of times you got two outs go at the hitter. I called to the bullpen. It is brad Keller out of the bullpen one inning from Justin Slayton but Brad Keller this season 0 to 3 rancor of 530. Er, a Jimenez Blue Jays still looking for their first hit of the game and this could be it and indeed, it will be, it'll skip up into the seats. That will be a double for Jimenez and that's his 10th double of the season and a good swing on it going the other way that down into the right field corner, 30 pitch down and in ball four, I think per was taken all the way but KT find the zone there and it's a tough time to issue that walk because now the Blue Jays have two on for the top of the order. George Springer is up. This is a well hit ball to the right field corner and it's gone around the Pesky pole into the seats down the right field line. It's a three run homer for George Springer have a day. George had a home run of the day game and another one here in the night cap two and two. The count on Joey, this one is hit high in the air down the left field line and it refsnyder didn't catch it. It's a fair ball and Lodo is standing at second that fly ball right there is the toughest play for a left fielder in this ballpark. So Loper is at second and now the batter is Vladimir Guerrero Junior smokes it up. The middle of base hit had to make sure it was going to go through because Gasper made a diving attempt at the ball. So that will be a line drive single for Vlady. The play runners on the corners one hit right side of the infield. Gasper. Second baseman moves over makes the catch to, that's a big out right there who had an RB I double in the day game is zero for two. So far in the night, this one is headed to shallow left and it's going to drop for a base hit an RB I single for Barger to cash in low prodo and make it 4 to 1 ninth batter to come to the plate. And Ernie Clement Clement hits the ball well to left field. It is off the monster guerrero coming in to score Barger to third Clement to second and it is fine to one right now is playing with an awful lot of energy and a lot of aggressive baserunning. Clement lining one hard to left field, picking up his 44th RB I of the season bottom of the eighth inning, 5 to 1. Blue Jays Barrios has allowed one run on six hits. He has not walked a batter struck out six efficient in the pitch. Count 10 to Hamilton gets it into left field of base hit one out single for David Hamilton, his first hit of the night on one out. Durant, two doubles, one off the wall and left one to left center. This one drilled into center field. That one. Sharon Durant demolishes a two run to center field and the Sox within two in the bottom of the eighth. I'll tell you, this guy has been phenomenal for the Red Sox this year and comes up with a huge home run Mart-n two and 1 to 94 a 34 appearances. His pitch to Guerrero swing and a liner right center field down for a hit cut off in the gap by o'neill but it pops out of his glove guerrero chugging for second throw comes in head first dive. He save that was bang, bang but Vlad went full stretch diving in the air to get to second. Yeah, Tyler o'neill tried to cut that off in the gap. It was hit so hard and it clanked off the heel of his glove and bounced up just for a split second. Vladimir Guerrero Junior saw that Jays would love a little insurance going into the bottom of the nine win this lead a bit and Kirk's going to bounce one to the right side and is safe as Mart-n drops it and Then comes home as the Red Sox continue to unravel defensively what the Red Sox have a terrible defense and that's killed them at home. He have come back to haunt this team again. Single, likely brings in the speedy shortstops trying to figure out the strike zone in the left to base hit Clement had to let it get by him so it wouldn't hit him, but it will still come in to score on the RB I single. It's right now. It is just not going the Red Sox way two outs in the ninth inning. So here's Yoshida the last hope he single, grounded into a double play and bounced out to the shortstop and that is the ball game as little finishes it off. Well, I can tell you guys that it was a tough day on the field. The Red Sox have now lost five in a row. Toronto has a six game win streak.
