This was a rough-go for both starting pitchers, with both seeing their stats taking an adverse hit. Through some late run support, the Boston Red Sox (40-33) moved to a season-high 7 games over .500 mark with a 13 to 6 victory over the home team Toronto Blue Jays (34-39).

Boston starter Garrett Whitlock lasted just 4 1/3 innings after he allowed 5 earned runs on 8 hits and 1 walk, while striking out 4; Game Score 30. Isaiah Campbell (1-0) picked up the win for his effort in which he allowed 1 unearned run on 6 hits and 1 walk. At the plate, Tyler O'Neill (3 for 3, Double, 2 Homeruns, 3 Runs, 6 RBI, Walk, Hit-by-Pitch), Jarren Duran (2 for 4, 2 Runs, RBI, Walk), Tristan Casas (2 for 5, 2 Runs, RBI), and Ceddanne Rafaela (2 for 5, Run, RBI, Stolen Base) had a great day of hitting. Of Note, O'Neill was recognized as MLB's #1 Performance of the Day.

Toronto starter Jose Berrios did not record a decision after he allowed 5 earned runs on 6 hits and a hit batsman; Game Score 37. Erik Swanson (2-2) was tagged with the loss after he served up 4 earned runs on 3 hits and 1 walk in 2 innings of play before Trevor Richards was called upon, but who failed to stop the damage in serving up 4 earned runs on 3 hits, 2 walks, and a wild pitch. Alek Manoah pitched a scoreless 2/3 innings. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (3 for 4, 2 Homeruns, 2 Runs, 5 RBI, Walk), Isiah Kiner-Falefa (2 for 3, 2 Runs, Sacrifice Bunt), Dalton Varsho (3 for 5, Run), and Justin Turner (3 for 5) hit the ball well.
