Tough Start in Boston 
The Toronto Blue Jays faced off against the Boston Red Sox and unfortunately couldn't come away with the win, falling 6-3. The game got off to a rough start for us, with Jarren Duran hitting a homer in the bottom of the 1st inning. This was just the beginning of Boston's strong performance.Early Struggles 
Our boys had some trouble getting on the board early. Despite George Springer reaching base after being hit by a pitch and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. singling in the 1st inning, we couldn't capitalize. The Red Sox, meanwhile, were aggressive right from the start, with Masataka Yoshida driving in two runs in the bottom of the 1st.Missed Opportunities 
In the top of the 3rd, we had the bases loaded but only managed to score one run via a sacrifice fly from Addison Barger. The real heartbreak came in the 4th inning when Springer flied into a double play, cutting a rally short.Big Inning for Boston 
The Red Sox really pulled away in the 5th inning, adding three more runs, highlighted by Triston Casas and Wilyer Abreu contributing with big hits. That brought the score to 6-1 and the game seemed to slip further out of our grasp.Late-Inning Efforts 
There were some bright spots despite the loss. In the 6th inning, Will Wagner homered to right-center, giving us a much-needed run. Daulton Varsho also showed some late-game power with a solo homer in the top of the 9th inning, but it was too little, too late.Final Thoughts 
It's never easy to lose, especially to a division rival like the Red Sox. We had our chances but couldn't quite make the most of them today. Credit to Boston, they played a solid game.Let's keep our heads up and look forward to bouncing back in the next game. Go Jays!
