Red Sox 4, Jays 1: Call It Slow If You Want, But It Got The Job Done

Here we are, the last Monday game of the 2024 season. Watching the fourth- and fifth-place teams in the AL East. Worst, and second-worst. Oh well, at least Rafael Devers doesn’t need surgery.

Game Action

The starting pitching for the two teams couldn’t have been more different, and the Jays as a team looked sluggish, or maybe worn down. Toronto’s starting pitcher Chris Bassitt walked three of the first five Red Sox batters. Bassitt was completely off: he set a career-high in walks (two of which came in to score), issued a balk, got in an argument with the umpire…and the Sox took advantage.
