TORONTO — The playoff celebration will have to wait at least one more night. The Red Sox bats were stymied in Thursday’s 6-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, whose pitching staff combined to carry a perfect game into the seventh inning. The Blue Jays also got two home runs as part of a six-run bottom of the sixth, with Daulton Varsho’s grand slam and George Springer’s ensuing two-run homer providing all the offense Toronto needed to avoid the series sweep. “That’s one of the best teams in the big leagues and we did an outstanding job the whole week…

Defense has been a problem for the Boston Red Sox in 2025. They lead the major leagues in errors, 115 errors, and own a league-worst .980 fielding percentage. Trevor Story is at the center of the infield. He’s played shortstop in almost every game for the Red Sox this season. He’s been a steady presence in the middle of the infield for most of the season, but has had issues in September. In the sixth inning of Thursday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays, Story fielded a routine ground ball, but his throw took Nathaniel Lowe off the bag and…
Well, the Astros were no help. Eh, I’d prefer to win and get in anyway.With Houston having a very large lead against the Athletics at the time of publish, it looks like it’s up to Brayan Bello and company to take care of business on their own north of the border to shrink that magic number down from one to…well, you know. I don’t want to say it outright just yet. Feels like a jinx.⚾️ First Pitch: 7:07pm ET — Rogers Center, Toronto, Ontario Source link

If Wyc Grousbeck had his way, his family would not have sold its majority stake in the Celtics. But Boston’s former lead governor is excited to remain involved with what he called a “great” new ownership group. Seated to Bill Chisholm’s left during the new majority owner’s introductory news conference on Thursday, Grousbeck admitted the sale process — which he called “an 18-month journey” that began with his family voting to sell the team — was a difficult experience for him. “This was a challenge to wrap my head around this,” said Grousbeck, the face of the Celtics’ prior ownership…
In what may have been his final start of the 2025 regular season, Garrett Crochet delivered. The Boston Red Sox ace was on top of his game, firing eight shutout innings against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre on Wednesday. He scattered three hits and no walks while striking out six, pitching the Red Sox to a 7-1 victory and moving them one step closer to a playoff berth. While Crochet could still pitch Sunday on short rest if absolutely needed, that seems unlikely now with Boston’s magic number at one. All the Red Sox need to do is…

TORONTO — Brayan Bello is nearing the end of a standout year with the Red Sox, but the past couple of outings haven’t gone smoothly. Taking the mound one last time in the regular season, Bello will look to finish on a high note. Bello (11-8, 3.34) will get the start Thursday as the Red Sox look to complete a three-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays. With a magic number of one the Red Sox can clinch a postseason berth with a win tonight, though a loss by the Houston Astros earlier Thursday would also be enough to punch…
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Christian Gonzalez wanted to play in the New England Patriots’ loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week.After being held out by coach Mike Vrabel, Gonzalez appears to be on track to make his season debut this week against Carolina.The cornerback practiced in only a limited basis prior to the Pittsburgh game, but Vrabel said Wednesday that the plan this week is to ramp up Gonzalez’s participation with the goal of him being active Sunday versus the Panthers.“Yeah, I think that’s the plan,” Vrabel said. “I’m excited about his efforts and willingness to get back and work hard in practice last…
