Red Sox Bats Can’t Back Up Pitching and Defense Against Blue Jays

Five Toronto pitchers combined on a four-hitter and Lourdes Gurriel Jr. scored the tiebreaking run in the eighth inning on a groundout, lifting the Blue Jays over the Boston Red Sox 2-1. Anthony Kay pitched 3 1/3 scoreless innings for the win. Anthony Bass picked up his third save. Blue Jays starter Chase Anderson pitched three innings in his Toronto debut after beginning the season on the injured list because of an oblique strain. He worked off a pitch limit and gave up just one hit and one run.
