Blue Jays

Toronto's Raimel Tapia hit an inside-the-park grand slam Friday night against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, as the Blue Jays surpassed the franchise ...

The relay home wasn't close to nabbing Tapia, who picked up speed when he realized Duran had lost the ball. Matt Chapman, Teoscar Hernandez and Danny Jansen also homered for the Blue Jays, who entered the day with a two-game lead over the Red Sox for the AL's final wild-card spot. Duran took a couple steps back, then a couple in, then put up his hands in confusion.

The 31-year-old has a 2.68 ERA and 3.14 FIP 18 starts into the season, but with the Rangers only seven games back of an expanded postseason spot, they may not be inclined to move their surprise ace. Miley, too, has injury question marks but comes with a decent track record of bottom-rotation reliability. But, the 29-year-old has still been effective, posting a 4.0 ERA and 4.28 xERA in 14 starts this season, allowing over three runs in just three of his outings. The righty has broken 160 IP just twice in his career and expecting late-season success coming off TJ could be asking a lot. And, though the Angels sit at 39-53 and 21.5 games back of the AL West lead, are they willing to toss the towel and sell on another season of Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani's prime? From 2019 through 2021, Quintana had a 5.13 ERA, pitched just 244 innings, and lost his hold on a regular rotation spot.

BOSTON -- The biggest offensive outburst in Blue Jays history took place Friday night in Boston, setting a franchise record with 27 runs.

The final run scored on Matt Chapman's single in the ninth. “Grease” was about to overtake “Jaws 2” at the box office. The organization was just 2 years old.

Blue Jays starter Yusei Kikuchi reached 77 pitches in a rehab assignment outing with the Buffalo Bisons.

But, when it mattered, he pushed off the rubber, dropped a nasty slider under his opponent's bat, and marched off the mound with five scoreless frames He recorded the next three outs in order and returned in the Bisons' dugout. He finished with five shutout innings, four strikeouts, and three walks.

In the fourth, Teoscar Hernandez hit a solo dinger. Then Danny Jansen crushed a three-run bomb. Make that 14-0. Can't get much worse than that for the Red Sox ...

Toronto went on to hit 10 more runs for 11 in the inning, totalling 25 in the game. In the fourth, Teoscar Hernandez hit a solo dinger. It was a good start — then it got silly.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder pulled off a rare feat at Fenway Park on Friday night: An inside-the-park grand slam.

The Blue Jays sit at 50-43, holding on to a playoff spot in a season where the competition for those spots became increasingly ferocious in the lead up to ...

But all of that only serves to build the tension, raise the stakes, and make the push towards the post-season that much more impassioned and memorable. While they tend to be most aggressive in the off-season, there’s the potential for moves in the coming weeks that cleverly complement a roster that remains very talented. And they have had the tendency over the past couple of seasons to finish stronger than they started. Outside of Alek Manoah, Alejandro Kirk and Jordan Romano, there’s a good argument that there’s plenty of upside to be found from the players currently on the roster. This is a complaint that has drifted into my own social-media mentions almost annually, and whenever there is the slightest air of positivity around the team coming out of spring training. The Blue Jays have not lived up to expectations in 2022.

Friday's game between the Blue Jays and Red Sox couldn't have gone any worse for Boston, but it was a record-setting evening for Toronto.

The Red Sox are now in danger of falling to last place in the division as the Baltimore Orioles own a 46-46 record. In the third inning, Toronto continued to get hits before the Red Sox allowed an inside-the-park grand slam to Raimel Tapia after Jarren Duran lost the ball as it dropped. The Blue Jays tacked on two more runs by the sixth inning to take a 27-5 lead.
Davis: 5 ER, 4 outs. Boston had not let up 27 runs since July 7, 1923 against Cleveland. TWENTY FIVE RUNS.

That's a NEW #BlueJays record!

The final run scored on Matt Chapman's single in the ninth. “Grease” was about to overtake “Jaws 2” at the box office. The organization was just 2 years old.

The Blue Jays bested the franchise records for runs and hits in a game in Friday's win over the Red Sox.

Slapping another single into right field in the final frame, Gurriel became just the second Blue Jay ever to record six hits in a game, tying Frank Catalanotto. He turned on the low pitch, driving it into the cavernous Fenway outfield and scoring two more runs for Toronto. The two tallies pushed Toronto's score to 25, breaking the Blue Jays franchise record for scores in a game. Two innings after setting the runs record, Gurriel slapped a single into right field for Toronto's 26th hit of the game.

Toronto was held scoreless in the seventh and eighth by Jake Diekman and Hirokazu Sawamura, respectively, but it still threatened the MLB record of 30 runs.

The Blue Jays cleared the 27-run mark in the ninth inning with Red Sox infielder Yolmer Sanchez on the mound. It should be noted that, if the list were expanded to before 1900, eight teams scored 30 or more runs in a game.
