Ninth inning rally falls short, Red Sox lose to Blue Jays 3-2

BOSTON (AP) — Kevin Gausman took a shutout into the ninth inning, and Jordan Romano escaped with a save on Thursday as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Boston Red Sox 3-2.

Gausman (1-1) struck out eight and walked none and was pulled after allowing Trevor Story’s single to lead off the ninth. It was the seventh hit off Gausman — all of them singles — with only one runner reaching second base against him.

Romano came in with one on and nobody out in the ninth and walked Rafael Devers before giving up an RBI double to Xander Bogaerts.
