Blue Jays beat Red Sox in extras after Springer hits clutch game-tying homer in 9th

George Springer hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning and Raimel Tapia hit a game-winning sacrifice fly in the 10th to give the Toronto Blue Jays a wild 6-5 win over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night.

Matt Barnes (0-1) struck out Matt Chapman before Tapia lifted a fly ball to left field off Matt Strahm that brought home Bichette with the winning run.

Jordan Romano (1-1) retired the Red Sox in order in the top of the 10th as Toronto (12-6) won for the sixth time in seven games.

Boston's Jake Diekman blew a save opportunity in the ninth as Toronto pulled even with a three-run frame. Tapia led off with a double and scored when Santiago Espinal followed with a double of his own.

Diekman fanned pinch-hitter Lourdes Gurriel Jr., and Bradley Zimmer before Springer turned on a 96-m.p.h. fastball for his fourth homer of the year.
