Blue Jays end road trip with marathon 12-inning loss to Philadelphia Phillies
Philadelphia scores twice in their half of the inning to earn 7-6 win, deny Toronto a series sweep
In a game that handed the Boston Red Sox their third consecutive loss, the Toronto Blue Jays emerged victorious with a final score of 2-1. Charles McAdoo was the star of the night, hitting his second major league home run in just nine career games. McAdoo came to bat leading off the fifth inning and drove in the Blue Jays' lone run.
Jameson Taillon pitched four innings of scoreless baseball before leaving the game with an injury to his forearm. Simeon Woods-Richardson replaced Taillon in the fifth inning and secured the win with three strong innings. The Red Sox' bullpen, led by Louis Varland who sealed the game with a scoreless ninth inning, played a crucial role as well.
The Blue Jays' victory comes after a nine-game winning streak for Boston, which followed a 27-win stretch that set a franchise record.
