The Red Sox continued to stumble out of the gate on Tuesday in a 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Blue Jays.
Once again, they found a dramatic way to do it — aided by Blue Jays outfielder George Springer.
In the top of the eighth inning, the Red Sox scored four runs to turn a 2-1 deficit into a 5-2 lead — a run highlighted by Trevor Story’s rocket of a double that looked like it might leave the park. The Red Sox appeared to be on the verge of snapping their losing streak.
In the bottom of the ninth, however, Jake Diekman gave up back-to-back doubles to start the frame.
