📰Game Recap

The Boston Red Sox secured a 5-0 shutout victory against the Toronto Blue Jays, propelled by a dominant pitching performance from starter Ranger Suarez.

The Red Sox added two more runs in the fifth; Anthony reached on an infield single that brought home Duran, and Abreu followed with a double to right field that scored Contreras. Durbin continued the Red Sox' offensive output with a single in the sixth inning, scoring Mayer to make it 4-0. Carlos Narvaez then sealed the scoring with a 388-foot solo home run to left center in the eighth.
