Red Sox reactions: Tyron Guerrero implodes as Boston matches season-long 5-game losing streak
Tyron Guerrero's eighth-inning implosion led to the fifth Red Sox loss in a row. Here's how it went down in Toronto.
The Boston Red Sox (64-56) extended their season-long five-game losing streak on Wednesday, suffering a 6-4 defeat against the Toronto Blue Jays. The implosion occurred in the eighth inning when reliever Tyron Guerrero struggled, allowing back-to-back singles to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Alejandro Kirk to begin the rally. Contreras' misplay proved costly as he dropped Kazuma Okamoto's throw, leading to an RBI single for Okamoto.
From there, the Blue Jays capitalized, scoring five runs in a hurry. The Red Sox managed to rally for three runs in the bottom of the ninth, but it wasn't enough. Guerrero's ERA rose to 3.19 after the game, and the loss marks the first five-game losing streak for the Red Sox in many months.
