Why did the Blue Jays lose 6-1 to the Red Sox and drop the series in Boston?

Sho Ali 0:06
Well, Caitlin, what we got today was a lot of the same old, same old. Another quiet day for the offense right up until the end. No run support for Kevin Gossman. Vladdy 0 for 4, unfortunately. Yeah, a lot of the same things we've been talking about for much of the season. happened today as well some bullpens decisions uh for us to quibble with vis-a-vis john schneider and brendan little i'm sure we'll get to you but uh yeah not a lot to like in this one 6-1 defeat at fenway park jays lose the series fall 10 games below 500 once again 48 and 58 on the season with the loss
Kaitlyn McGrath 0:45
Yeah, just the Blue Jays couldn't get that timely hit today. You know, I'm looking at the box score now. The Red Sox had 10 hits. The Blue Jays had 9. But the Red Sox hits were just coming at the right time. They were able to, when guys were on base, they were able to... drive them in and you saw they had some nice bunts in that game. Three nice bunts, right? So they were doing the little things right and they were getting the knocks at the right time, whereas the Blue Jays were putting them on but not moving them over and not bringing them over the home plate. So that's been a story that we've seen a number of times this season with the Blue Jays. As you say, things that we've talked about all year long came up again today.
Kaitlyn McGrath 1:26
And The result is that, again, they dropped to 10 games below 500. We're getting closer and closer to, I don't know what you want to call it, decision day or whatever it is, as we approach the trade deadline in about a week's time today. So, you know, tough one, tough one if this was Gaussman's Last start as a Blue Jay. Obviously, Ben and Chris were talking about that on the broadcast. And we talked about it a little bit in the pregame show. So, tough way to go out. And actually, the last two that he's had has not been his best outings. I mean, today wasn't too bad. Today was fine. Yeah, today was fine. But, I mean, they didn't win, right? So, tough to go out on a loss.

That is Caitlin McGrath. I'm show alley. You're listening to blue Jays talk on sports net five 90, the fan.

You can text us as well. Five 90, five 90 name and location. The people's text line always open standard data and messaging rates may apply. Yeah. It's almost, almost comical at this point, how little run support Kevin Gosman gets. I mean, it's certainly a pretty dismal day for the offense. Overall, whether it was Suarez in the mound for the Red Sox or the Red Sox bullpen seems pretty on on pretty par for the course for Gosman in the 2026 season.
Sho Ali 2:53
But yeah, it's it's almost I feel like we've joked about how little run support Gosman has gotten over his Blue Jays career. And it feels almost fitting that if this is his last started, there's a possibility. It's not whether it's because his last start is because it lines up for him to pitch again against the Cardinals on Saturday the 1st. So he could make that start and still get traded again. He could also not get traded, right? Which is possible. So there, there's a, there are a lot of, I guess, moving parts to this, but yeah, it's, it's a, it's too bad that if this was the last start for Gosman in a blue Jays uniform, should he get traded before Saturday? Then you don't give him any run support, which again, he, I guess he should be used to by now, but you know, six innings, five hits,
Sho Ali 3:32
three earned runs, one walk, six Ks, 98 pitches, 66 of them strikes. It wasn't the cleanest outing for Gosman you'll ever see. But truthfully, I mean, I do think if you're reading the box score, I don't think it even necessarily tells the whole story of how he pitched today. Yeah. Only because... You know, most of the damage came, two of those three runs came on one swing, right? A Jaron Durant single, but fourth inning, right? Walks the leadoff batter. Not great. Really, generally speaking, when you walk the leadoff batter, it usually comes back to bite you, but gives him a single to the second batter.
