Beantown Beatdown: Boston’s Betts burns Biagini and Blue Jays in 15-1 blowout
TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays were hoping to close out their homestand with a win Sunday to restore some optimism as they embark on the second half of the season.
Instead, a blowout loss to the division-leading Boston Red Sox made their last-place hole even deeper.
Mookie Betts hit two homers and drove in eight runs as the Red Sox crushed the Blue Jays 15-1 to complete a three-game sweep. Betts had four of Boston’s 21 hits — including a three-run shot in the fourth inning and a two-run blast in the sixth — and scored three times.
He helped turn the game into a laugher with a two-run single in Boston’s eight-run seventh inning.
