Red-Hot Red Sox Rout Blue Jays, 10-2; Toronto Activates Daulton Varsho from IL
, Boston – The Boston Red Sox put on an extraordinary display of power, slugging their way to a 10-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday evening.
Offensive Explosion Lifts Red Sox
Wilyer Abreu led the charge with a towering three-pointer in the late innings, capping off an impressive offensive performance by the Red Sox (17-14). Garrett Crochet (3-2) earned the win, delivering a commanding performance on the mound, striking out six over seven innings.

Boston’s attack was highlighted by a colossal home run from Rafael Devers that sailed into the second balcony in right field, kickstarting a third-inning rally. Alex Bregman and Trevor Story also contributed to the home run parade, with Abreu, Jarren Duran, and Kristian Campbell adding solo shots.
- Duran and Triston Casas plated runs on a double play in the sixth, and Campbell drove in another with a double in the ninth.
Blue Jays Struggle, Varsho Returns
The Blue Jays (13-16) could muster only two runs, both coming on a two-run homer by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the third inning. Bowden Francis (2-4) took the loss after allowing seven runs and eight hits in just three innings.
Blue Jays Activate Daulton Varsho from IL
Before the game, the Blue Jays dipole Daulton Varsho from the 10-day injured list. Varsho, who had been recovering from right shoulder surgery, was 28 and batting .274 with 18 home runs and 67 RBIs in 2024. He won his first-ever Gold Glove award last season for his defensive prowess in center field.
Varsho played several rehab games with the Buffalo Bisons, Toronto’s Triple-A affiliate, before rejoining the big league club.
What’s Next?
The Red Sox and Blue Jays will continue their series Wednesday, with George Springs set to face off against Stephen Sanchez.
Did You Know?
Alex Bregman is now tied for third place on the Red Sox’s all-time home run list with 265.
Pro Tip
While the Red Sox have been mashing, their pitching has been equally impressive. Keep an eye on Garrett Crochet – he’s been a difference-maker on the mound.
Final Word
The Red Sox showed no signs of slowing down Tuesday, with a convincing victory powered by their potent offense. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays will rely on their newly activated talent, Daulton Varsho, to ignite their lineup.
