Blue Jays grind out 13-innings for much needed 4-3 win over Red Sox

Whit Merrifield’s RBI single in the 13th inning gave the Jays the win Saturday to keep Toronto’s playoff hopes alive

Whit Merrifield’s RBI single in the 13th inning gave the Blue Jays a badly needed 4-3 win over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday to keep Toronto’s playoff hopes alive.

Daulton Varsho’s RBI triple with two outs in the bottom of the ninth tied the game for Toronto and Bo Bichette’s sacrifice fly in the 12th tied it again. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had a solo home run in the seventh. Sale’s no-hit bid ended in the fifth. Toronto catcher Alejandro Kirk bounced a hit off the outfield wall for a two-out single. Kirk tried to stretch the hit into a double, however, and right-fielder Alex Verdugo fired the ball to second for an easy out, ending the inning.

Blue Jays right-fielder George Springer laid out for a diving catch in the top of the seventh, robbing Masataka Yoshida of a likely extra-base hit. The sold-out crowd of 42,276 at Rogers Centre cheered the highlight-reel play, with Springer waving to fans when he got back on his feet.
