The Toronto Blue Jays faced a disappointing 4-1 defeat against the Boston Red Sox, clinching last place in the American League East. The match, marked by a small crowd of just 22,254, was notable for a tribute to former catcher Danny Jansen, who received cheers despite not playing.
Veteran pitcher Chris Bassitt struggled significantly, issuing a career-high seven walks, marking a rough season with a 10-14 record. The loss was compounded by a lethargic offensive display, save for a single run in the ninth.
In a rare highlight, catcher Alejandro Kirk excelled on defense, throwing out three Red Sox players trying to steal bases, showcasing his skill behind the plate.
