Blue Jays vs. Red Sox Game Highlights (5/3/23) | MLB Highlights

Here's a look at the Red Sox starting pitcher Nick Pivetta one and two ERA at five point one one coming into game three. Well that's a lot of curveballs and that's a fair ball and it's off the glove of Devers and Springer is going to be safe. He would have had a tough time even if he comes up with a way back there and brings up Bichette who is on fire. Three thirty nine with seven home runs. Vladimir Guerrero Junior three eleven with five home runs as a fly ball in the left Yoshida back up to the track. He's there to make the play. And Bichette back to first and Matt Chapman getting ready to step in three seventy four with five home runs just named the American League Player of the Month for April. There's a high fly ball driven deep in the left center racing back to Rand now circling he is under to make the play that win really cut it down and that is a down number three Alec Manoa walks continuing to be an issue for Alec that era just under five. But in his last start against Seattle it was a struggle. He was battling dealing with base runners and Alex Verdugo talked about the Toronto Aces celebrations after strikeouts. He thought he goes about it the wrong way when he celebrates and he talks to hitters or at them when he strikes them out. Oh two and a swing and a miss as Manoa puts him away on three pitches and a bouncer to first backhanded by Guerrero and he'll change course go left and make his way to the bag for out number two. Grounded in the hole it's short Bichette with a long throw and he got him a terrific play by Bo Bichette to retire Justin Turner and the Red Sox. Here's Dalton Varsha lead off the top of the second in this scoreless game and hitting the ball to right field like that's going to work. This one is gone a line drive home run for Dalton Varsha his fourth of the season and his second in as many nights. And what a jolt to the offense it would be for him to come out of this early season slump that he was in and to start hitting the ball like he's capable of two down here's Vladimir Guerrero Junior in the air to left field and the wind can't do a thing about this one. A long home run for Vladimir Guerrero Junior to make it two to nothing. You're going to change up inside to a righty it better be down and it was about Beltano four hundred and fifty feet or home run number six on the season for Guerrero to down for Verdugo little blooper down the right field line. This is going to drop in for a head. Springer has no chance for to go may have broken his bat but he'll take it. It's the Red Sox first base hit. It comes with two outs and it extends the inning for Yoshida. High in the air to center field but lots of room for Kiermaier to make the catch and in the inning. Varsha has got Peveta's number tonight. He's a board to lead off the fourth. And now Alejandro Kirk who grounded out to short his first time up and there he goes and it's ball for the throw went into center though and Varsha up and on his way to third huge spot for prevent Nick would trade two outs for a run here. So now Merrifield who is three for six coming into this game off of Peveta swung on and missed with the slider. He got a big out there for Nick as he gets a K that'll bring up Espinel one man out. They lead at the corners. Hot shot Kikwete Valdez it's one on the first and a double play just with the doctor ordered there one down for Rafi. Drills that one off Manoa it rolls to the catcher the throw is going to go up the line. Oh keep going. Rafi take it off and see what's up with Manoa. That was a wicked line drive off him. He's reaching for the baseball but his manager is coming out with a trainer to check on him. He says he's OK. He's going to have to convince his manager John Schneider still talking to him. He's convinced him he will stay first time tonight. The Red Sox have had a runner in scoring position as Jaron Duran comes to the plate. There's a line shot that'll get it done. That's into the gap all the way to the wall and that'll bring in the run Rafi scores and Duran quickly into second with yet another double. He's becoming a doubles machine and that makes it a two to one game. Now we'll see if Cossus can come around play on his third into the outfield Duran racing in a third and he'll stop there. There's a liner in the right field that's got a hit and a big one for Cossus. He has tied the ball game that drives in Duran and it's two to he gets in the second base to begin the inning and he'll get credit for a double. So a double for Kiermaier and Springer and Springer lifts it to left center field back on the edge of the track Duran. He'll make the catch. Here comes Kiermaier and he's into third. Let's see how careful Pivetta is here with Bobby Shatner Meyers stunting down the line and a block has been called. Pivetta is called for a block and Kiermaier into score and the Red Sox won an explanation Pivetta Wong and now Cora and he is a board so the Red Sox have a base runner here with one down in the bottom of the fifth. So a man on for Turner he's over to well as a gap shot rolls all the way to the warning track Kiermaier with a sliding stab on it. His shoes in the third he's going to stop there. It'll be a double for Turner and the Sox are in business here with one down at second and third. Justin Turner smacks one to the gap. So now Rafi Devers Raphael one for two a single popped him up and it's been all there for the second out. So a hit batsman and that loads the bases. So they are all loaded up with two down for Tristan Casas. He did drive in a run with a base hit as a base hit into left field. That'll bring in Yoshida one run scores the Red Sox have tied it up again. Turner down a third good night for Casas in a 3 3 game Red Sox with a man at every base and a ground ball. Look at the bounce it took. It's in the right field one run is in Duran will score the Red Sox are on top a bad hop. It ate up Guerrero and deflected into the outfield and the Sox are in the lead productive out for Verdugo. Wong is over to third with one out and the infield will come in for Yoshida a runner in third with one down and a liner off the pitcher. That's going to score the run. That ball was hit wickedly as well. The Red Sox for the second time in the game hit a line drive off a Toronto pitcher and that brings out the manager and the trend is Deja Vu for them as the Sox now lead at six to three. So the Sox have a couple of base runners and really since the fourth inning it's been heavy traffic against Toronto Red Sox with two men aboard and he'll slam that one down the line and have to go all the way to the wall. Kiki is in Verdugo to third on another extra base hit by Yoshida as he scalds one down that line. Red Sox on top seven to three. And here's Kiki who's one for four single his last time up and a three to home. He's going to rattle that one up the middle for a base hit. Casas will be waved in. Kiermaier will not throw and that'll make it eight to three. Kiki second knock of the ball game. He picks up the RBI and a little more cushion. Yeah it's a big RBI to right to get that five run lead and one more to get and the Red Sox will take the first three from Toronto and equal their win total against the Blue Jays over 19 games last year swings and pops it up. Valdez going out Duran coming in he'd like to take it. He's got it and the Red Sox have won again make that five in a row for Boston eight three over Toronto.
