The Toronto Blue Jays continued their struggles, suffering a 10-2 defeat against the Boston Red Sox at Rogers Centre, marking their eighth loss in nine games. The game was effectively over by the third inning, as the Red Sox jumped out to a 7-0 lead, powered by five home runs, including a two-run blast from Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who tied with Andrés Giménez for the team lead with three homers this season.

Bowden Francis, who took the loss, became only the third pitcher in Blue Jays history to surrender five home runs in a single game, joining the likes of Pat Hentgen and Brett Cecil. Despite the loss, Daulton Varsho provided a highlight reel moment with a spectacular catch, which has been described as one of the best seen in decades of Blue Jays coverage.
