TORONTO — Instant reactions from the Red Sox‘ 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays here at Rogers Centre on Thursday:
1) Reliever Justin Slaten entered the eighth inning having allowed no hits and walks in eight of his 12 outings. He hadn’t allowed a hit in nine of those 12 outings. But he gave up three hits, including a three-run homer to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to turn a 2-1 Red Sox lead into a 4-2 Blue Jays lead. He had gotten ahead of Guerrero 0-2 but the slugger worked the count and homered on the seventh pitch.
