BOSTON — The Red Sox got a glimpse of a promising part of their future on Wednesday night. But their disappointing present continued to follow them.
On a night rookie starter Brayan Bello delivered a sparkling start, frustration continued to carry the Red Sox further out of the Wild Card race. George Springer delivered an RBI double in the 10th inning, which was the difference as the Red Sox lost another series to an American League East opponent with a 3-2 loss to the Blue Jays.
Bello gave the Red Sox a chance over five innings, but the Red Sox’ offense failed to deliver. They wasted a pair of bases-loaded opportunities in the late innings, which paved the way for extras, where Springer smacked Ryan Brasier’s first pitch off the left-field wall, giving the Jays the lead for good.
