Vladimir Guerrero Jr’s three-run homer leads Blue Jays to 3-0 win over Red Sox
TORONTO — Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s three-run homer lifted the Blue Jays over the Boston Red Sox 3-0 on Friday to snap Toronto’s four-game losing skid.
José Berríos (11-10) struck out eight over seven scoreless innings, allowing five hits, as Toronto (81-67) kept pace in the American League’s wild-card chase.
The Blue Jays are one game back of the Seattle Mariners for the third and final AL wild-card spot. Seattle hosted the National League West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers later Friday.
Relievers Jordan Hicks and Jordan Romano of Markham, Ont., preserved the win for Toronto. Romano earned his 35th save of the year.
