00:00He threw the ball well last time out, but the defense let him down, Ernie Clement and
00:21Chris Bassett himself, committing errors that led to seven runs, just one earned run.
00:26Durant at 285, he's the American League leader in both doubles and triples, and also has
00:3321 home runs.
00:34He has had an excellent season, and he got him.
00:35Fastball up in the zone, one down.
00:36And Chris Bassett is unusual in that he can pitch up in the zone with his fastball, his
00:37two-seamer, and his four-seamer, his cutter.
00:38And he gets a lot of strikeouts right in that area of the strike zone.
00:50And it's a strikeout for Bassett, now he faces Trevor Story.
00:54And he's going to walk him.
00:55He's a Red Sox baserunner, as Bassett puts on Story on ball four in front of Tristan
01:00Casas.
01:01There goes Story.
01:02Here's the throw down by Kirk, the tag, safe.
01:06It's been good to see Trevor doing some running here in the final days of the season.
01:10He picks up a steal of second.
01:12There's a lot of things he does well as an athlete.
01:15This is one of them, being able to take the extra base.
01:18That was close.
01:19Did he come off that a little bit and then recover back on, or did he just hold on the
01:23whole time?
01:24He did hold on the whole time.
01:26Story leads at second.
01:27The pitch is inside.
01:29Ball four.
01:30So, two men aboard, a couple of walks for the Red Sox in a row here in the first.
01:35And back in his home and native land, here's Tyler O'Neal, who on our first trip here in
01:40the first game in Canada, had a two-home run game.
01:43Slider is down and away, throw down to second, and somehow Story gets back in there safely.
01:49The throw beat him, but Jimenez missed the tag, and they're going to look at the replay.
01:56And again, Kirk made a terrific play.
01:58His arm strength has improved dramatically over the course of the season, and they're
02:02going to have a look at it.
02:03But the throw definitely beat him back into second base.
02:07It's just a matter of whether or not he tagged him.
02:10And you can see Story slipped, but the tag is high, and Story reacted to the ball in
02:17the third, and the tag is high.
02:21Had he gone for his hand or just kept the glove in front of the base, Story would have
02:25ran into the glove.
02:26But you see the swipe tag, pretty close right there.
02:30Ball on the field is overturned, and the runner is out.
02:34No score, two outs top of the first.
02:36Casas on first, and the pitch to O'Neal is looped toward third.
02:40Running in, Barger makes a waist-high catch on the liner, and ends the inning.
02:44By the way, speaking of Blue Jays draft picks, pretty cool in-between innings.
02:48Tribute video put up for Danny Jansen, who got a big applause from the Blue Jays Red
02:52Sox and the fans.
02:54Jansen came onto the field, saluted the fans, and it was a very nice moment.
02:58Well-deserved by a guy who meant so much to the fan base here, to his teammates, his coaches,
03:05and you know Danny Jansen as well as I do.
03:08He's touched that, and I'm sure that meant the world to him that the Blue Jays would
03:12do that upon his return.
03:13Tanner Howgate in 10, ERA 321, been a tale of two halves for the All-Star.
03:19He was 8-6 with a 254 ERA.
03:24To get that All-Star nod in the first half, he is not one in the second half.
03:28One man away as Springer is done in on the ground ball.
03:32Nathan Lucas, the left fielder, comes in at 317 without a home run, and will fly this
03:38one into left field.
03:39Duran backing up, it's so odd after the windy weekend against Minnesota, not to mention
03:46the rain.
03:47Vlad Guerrero Jr. going after it, and will send a hopper to third, and Sogard will fire
03:53on to get him, and a nice quick start for Tanner Howgate on six pitches.
03:57How about this, another walk issued by Bassett.
04:01That's three already, he's only faced five men.
04:03Yeah, not pretty right now for Bassett.
04:05Bassett facing Connor Wong, the right-handed hitting catcher.
04:09Grounded to Guerrero on the first base line, he boots it into foul territory, and Wong
04:13is going to be safe.
04:14Vladi flipped it off of Connor, with Bassett not on the bag.
04:18That was ugly, and the Red Sox have two on with nobody out.
04:22Vladi is a heck of a ball player, and even hearing stuff about playing third base, right
04:26there, that just can't happen.
04:28It is a productive play, as Sogard moves Abreu over to third in a two-strike count, and now
04:34a chance for Vaughn Grissom.
04:36Fly ball into left field, and Lucas, as it measured, makes the catch, Abreu will tag.
04:41Here's the throw, they'll cut it, and a run is in.
04:44The Red Sox on the board first tonight, one to nothing.
04:47Here's Seidon with two down, and Sogard leading at first.
04:50His next offering is hit hard to third, diving catch by Addison Barger on the soft liner
04:56to end the inning.
04:58That one sunk in a hurry, but Barger got under it to make the play.
05:02Well, he's walked another man, so he's walked four men here in the first three innings.
05:07He's given the Red Sox multiple chances.
05:09That'll bring up O'Neal, who ripped the line drive, who was caught.
05:12That's not up!
05:14That's not up!
05:15One, two, three, set it up!
05:17Yeah, now Bassett's talking to the umpire right there, saying that's not up and that's
05:21not in, and Pete Walker and John Snyder have been concerned about the strike zone.
05:27Check swing, it's outside, ball four.
05:29Make it five walks now in the start for Bassett.
05:32Yeah, he's having a hard time.
05:33Abreu walked and scored the run, going after the first one of Bassett.
05:37Down the line, here comes Casas.
05:39He is in to score.
05:40O'Neal down to third, into second, standing up for Abreu, and they make him pay for another
05:45walk, and the Sox take a 2-0 lead.
05:48I am surprised George Springer did not come up firing here to second base.
05:52Did he look like he went at that hard?
05:54No.
05:54He went at that, like, when he went at that ball, it didn't look like he was going hard
05:58to keep William Abreu off second base.
06:00Good job by Abreu to take the extra base.
06:01And the way they're playing tonight, they look like a team that's lost 100 games.
06:05Line drive to center field.
06:07Class A better hurry, and he gets there.
06:10Looked like Class A didn't have a good view of it off this start, but he broke to his
06:14right and hauled it in to end the inning.
06:17Fourth double for Sogard this season in 27 games, and the second hit allowed of the day
06:23by Chris Bassett, and they're going to call Bach on Bassett.
06:27He stepped off the opposite way that you usually do.
06:30Instead of the right-handed pitcher turning to his left, he turned to his right, and I
06:34don't know that he properly disengaged with the rubber.
06:38What a weird, weird night for Bassett.
06:41And a trickler.
06:42Here comes the run.
06:43Bassett will go to first as the run scores.
06:46So 3-0.
06:47You can't do it any better.
06:48I mean, that's like basically like a swinging bunt.
06:50Tanner Houck looking for a victory.
06:52He's not had one since before the All-Star game.
06:55There are quickly two away.
06:56He's thrown 42 pitches and 30 of them for strikes.
07:00Yeah, and it's just a minute ground ball machine.
07:02He's got 14 guys in a row.
07:053-1 pitch all the way to the backstop, and there's the perfect game bit over out of nowhere
07:10with two outs in the bottom of the fifth.
07:12Clement grounded out to shortstop in the third inning 0 for 1.
07:163-0 Boston.
07:17Two outs, bottom five.
07:18And a line drive.
07:19Bassett to the left.
07:21Their first hit throw back into second base.
07:24So consecutive hitters reaching a walk and a single.
07:28Well, he had the perfect game.
07:29Gave up the walk to Barger.
07:31Then gave up the single to lose the no hitter.
07:33But we all know that Tanner Houck's on a pitch count.
07:35Skyed into left field, but Duran has room.
07:38Backpedaling in front of the track.
07:39He's there to make the play.
07:41Inning over.
07:41Tanner strands a couple after allowing his first walk and his first hit.
07:45So Rafaela looking for his first hit with the infield drawn in.
07:48First and third with one gone.
07:50And the youngster looking to mash one.
07:52Yanked to third.
07:54Throw into second for an out onto first.
07:56And safe.
07:57And a run scores.
07:58Foot speed for Seidon.
08:00Brings home a run.
08:01Wong scores.
08:02And it's 4-0 Red Sox.
08:05Spencer Horowitz up to the plate for the Blue Jays.
08:07One out, bottom of the ninth.
08:084-0 Red Sox.
08:10And a bouncer up the middle.
08:11And that's going to get through for a base hit.
08:14And Lucas will come into score to make it 4-1.
08:18The Blue Jays finally break through.
08:20And get a run on the board here in the ninth.
08:23And Alejandro Kirk the next man in.
08:25He's been a very hot hitter with a 15 game hitting streak.
08:28But he's also a serious double play candidate.
08:31Ground ball up the middle.
08:33Flip on a second one.
08:34And there's your double play.
08:36And there is your Red Sox victory.
08:39Finals score tonight 4-1.
08:40Red Sox back over 500.
08:42With a record of 79 and 78.
