Red Sox Defeat Blue Jays 7-0, Ending Toronto's Streak

The Boston Red Sox defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 7-0 on Thursday at Rogers Centre, ending Toronto's recent streak. Payton Tolle delivered an impressive performance, allowing only two hits over eight innings, while Caleb Durbin contributed with a grand slam in the eighth inning.

Durbin's home run, his 12th of the season, came off Toronto reliever Chase Lee and capped off a strong outing for the Red Sox, who improved to 65-56. Tolle's pitching gem included four strikeouts and he faced the minimum of 23 batters in his final 7.2 innings.

The Red Sox took an early lead in the first inning with a double from Willson Contreras, scoring Wilyer Abreu. Despite the loss, the Blue Jays' Andres Gimenez saw his seven-game hitting streak come to an end. The Red Sox, who had previously lost five straight games, now hold the best record in MLB since the trade deadline.
