Toronto Blue Jays 1 – 6 Boston Red Sox

MLB · July 26, 2026 · Final

🎧 Post-Game Report (audio)

Post-Game Recap

The Boston Red Sox rolled into Toronto and handled business, beating the Blue Jays six to one in what turned into a pretty comfortable afternoon for the visitors.

Boston drew first blood in the third when Ceddanne Rafaela singled to right to score Monasterio, and from that point Toronto was chasing. The Red Sox twisted the knife in the fourth — Jarren Duran came through with a single to center that plated two more, and just like that it was three to nothing and the Blue Jays were in serious trouble.

Then came the seventh, and that's where this game was truly buried. Jonatan Jones stepped up and laced a two-run double to center, scoring Duran and Monasterio to push it to five nothing. Will Abreu followed immediately with a double of his own to left, scoring Jones, and suddenly it was a six-run deficit with Toronto's offense nowhere to be found. Jones finished with two RBIs on just one at-bat — a brief but devastating appearance in the box score.

The Blue Jays managed a consolation run in the ninth on an Andres Giménez infield single, but that was all she wrote. Vladimir Guerrero Junior and Noah Lukes combined to go zero for eight with four strikeouts, and Toronto simply never threatened in any meaningful way.

Boston came in with a plan, executed it in waves, and the Blue Jays had no answers. That's your post-game report. Sports Desk, signing off.
