The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Boston Red Sox on Friday night 28-5 in what was a hearty but ultimately lopsided game of lacrosse, and — what’s that? It was baseball?
Oh. Oh, no. Oh, dear God.
It was a record-setting performance for the Blue Jays, whose 28 runs set a franchise record for the most in a game, beating out a 24-run outing against the Baltimore Orioles in 1978. It was also the most runs Boston has ever allowed, beating out the previous record of 27 that dated back nearly 100 years to 1923.
