Three things you need to know about the Blue Jays’ 8-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday afternoon, completing a three-game sweep at Fenway Park:
Two days after an inside-the-park grand slam, Jays outfielder Raimel Tapia was up to his old tricks. In the first, he hit a liner into the right-centre gap. The ball rolled all the way to the wall, which allowed three runs to score, and Tapia ended up on third with his first triple of the season. He has 10 RBIs over his last three games, one off the franchise record for a series at Fenway. Junior Felix had 11 RBIs in 1989.
In the first, Stripling allowed one run and had a pair of men on base before Franchy Cordero hit into a fielder’s choice and Bobby Dalbec struck out looking. Stripling allowed two runs on five hits before the Jays turned things over to a rested bullpen for the final five frames.The Red Sox essentially handed the Jays a blowout victory in the series opener, thanks to a pair of costly miscues in the field, and it was more of the same in the finale.
