Guerrero Jr.'s walk-off single lifts surging Blue Jays to wild win over Red Sox

A walk-off single to left field from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. gave the Toronto Blue Jays a wild 6-5 victory against the rival Boston Red Sox on Tuesday.

Pinch-hitter Alejandro Krik led off the final inning with a sharp single to left. Then, George Springer walked so Bo Bichette could knock in the tying run with a single to right. Guerrero then bounced a grounder into left field to score Bichette.

After Rob Refsnyder tied the game with his homer off Blue Jays reliever Trent Thornton, the Red Sox pushed across the winning run in the eighth inning.

Toronto second baseman Santiago Espinal bailed his team out later in the eighth inning, snaring a line shot from Christian Arroyo to double up Vazquez at second base with the bases loaded.

The Blue Jays (42-32) have won the first two games of the three-game set against the Red Sox (42-33).
