Blue Jays News
The Toronto Blue Jays are riding high after sweeping the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, outscoring them 13-4 over three games and inching closer to .500 with a 36-38 record. A key factor in this series was Trey Yesavage, who put in solid performances, although he faced challenges with back-to-back home runs in the eighth inning of yesterday's game. The win was sweetened by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. finally breaking his power drought with a towering homer, his first since May 17. However, the team is now grappling with the loss of Max Scherzer, who has been placed on the injured list, raising concerns about depth and pitching stability as they navigate a grueling stretch of 16 consecutive games. With injuries testing the roster, the Blue Jays will need to lean on their remaining stars to keep this momentum going.
