Summary: The Boston Red Sox won the series against the Toronto Blue Jays in an 8-3 victory at Fenway Park on Wednesday with one game left in the set. NESN’s Lauren Willand looks at the win and how the offense performed well as it continues to heat up at the plate. Lauren highlights Triston Casas — who broke an 0-for-11 slump with a big night at the plate — and how Alex Cora’s willingness to stick with the rookie has paid off (remember Dustin Pedroia all those years back?). Lauren also highlights Masataka Yoshida as he continues to be a force at the plate. In the second segment of the Locked On Red Sox podcast, Lauren turns to the pitching. Nick Pivetta was at his best, despite a balk (that wasn’t really a balk) that gave the Blue Jays a one-run lead, Chris Martin had a great outing and Kutter Crawford left early due to hamstring tightness. Lauren ends the show with the mental health minute! Follow us on Twitter! @LO_RedSox & @jakeiggy & @lalalalaurrrren Support us by supporting our sponsors!
