Vazquez’s two-run homer leads Red Sox over Blue Jays to snap four-game slide
TORONTO — September can’t come soon enough for the Blue Jays bullpen.
Toronto relievers surrendered four earned runs on five hits Monday night, including a two-run homer to Christian Vazquez, as the Boston Red Sox edged the Blue Jays 6-5.
Manager John Gibbons said his ‘pen has been taxed and will benefit from next month’s call-ups.
“I know they’ve been working hard. Sooner or later it catches up with you,” said Gibbons. “(With) Danny Barnes it was coming out good, he left the ball up and Vazquez hits the home run. (Ryan) Tepera walked the guy on four straight, you usually don’t see that too often.
