Boston Beaten, 5-3, by Toronto
Toronto registered a win at Fenway Park by beating the Boston Red Sox, 5-3. Pitcher Max Scherzer was one reason why the Blue Jays triumphed. Erik Swanson, now 2-2, was credited with the win in 1.2 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on no hits, while striking out 2 and walking 0. Toronto is now 37-47, while Boston is 41-44.

Willson Contreras came through with a big-time hit for Toronto. The catcher smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 5-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

Contreras called the win "a team effort."
