The Red Sox offense remained hot on Wednesday, as five players homered in a 7-4 victory over the Blue Jays.
Here’s what happened.
The big picture
The Red Sox started strong, building a 2-0 lead in the third inning that expanded to 5-1 by the top of the six on homers by Rafael Devers, Kiké Hernández, and Michael Chavis. Starter Garrett Richards threw 5.2 good innings before the Blue Jays scored three abrupt runs on a two-out walk followed by back-to-back homers.
The Red Sox answered by shutting down the Blue Jays the rest of the way.
