ONE BIG TAKEAWAY
Boston and Toronto made some history on Monday.
Danny Jansen became the first player in MLB history by playing for both teams given he was at the plate for the Blue Jays when the game was suspended back in June.
After that, pitching became the story of the day, particularly for the Red Sox. Nick Pivetta entered in a relief outing after Kutter Crawford originally started the game. With the exception of a solo home run from George Springer, Pivetta was exceptional. The Boston right-hander struck out 10 batters across six innings while allowing just four hits.
Unfortunately for Pivetta, the Red Sox offense could not find any rhythm against a bullpen game for the Blue Jays as manager John Schneider matched up his way through the order. Boston’s bullpen faltered at the wrong time with wild-card contenders taking advantage with a win in Cleveland from the Kansas City Royals.
STARS OF THE GAME
— Pivetta struck out 10 batters for the fifth time this season.
— Jarren Duran smacked his 18th home run of the year for the Red Sox.
— Toronto’s Springer started the scoring with his 18th home run of the season.
