ONE BIG TAKEAWAY
Since joining the Blue Jays, starting pitcher Kevin Gausman has been successful against Boston hitters with a 2.65 ERA in six starts.
That all changed in the series finale when the Red Sox bats connected early and often against Gausman, chasing the veteran pitcher in the fourth inning after tapping the right-hander for eight runs off of 10 hits, including a five-run second inning.
Brayan Bello was solid off the mound for Boston giving the Red Sox five innings of work. Toronto did get to Bello in the fifth scoring three of their four runs off the righty.
Boston, who had five batters with multiple hits in the win, exploited the Toronto bullpen in the bottom of the eighth tagging Zach Pop for three runs on two hits capping off an outstanding offensive showing by the Red Sox.
