Teoscar Hernandez had two home runs, one a solo shot and the other a two-run blast, as the Toronto Blue Jays downed the Boston Red Sox 6-3 on Sunday.
Toronto swept the three-game series to wrap their final homestand of the regular season. The win helped the Blue Jays tighten their grasp on home-field advantage in the first round of the American League playoffs with Seattle and Tampa Bay also vying for top spot in the wild-card race.
After Pop's two innings Adam Cimber, Anthony Bass, Yimi Garcia and closer Jordan Romano of Markham, Ont., each pitched an inning. Michael Wacha lasted four innings, allowing five runs on six hits and a walk. He struck out four. Eduard Bazardo, Kaleb Ort and Franklin German came out of Boston's bullpen.
Merrifield tied it up in the next inning with his solo shot. Like Hernandez's first home run, his bomb went into the second deck, flying 404 feet into the stands above the Blue Jays' bullpen to the delight of the 43,877 in attendance.
