Raimel Tapia's rare inside-the-park grand slam was the highlight of the Blue Jays' record rout of the Red Sox.
SportsPulse: USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale breaks down the trade market for Washington Nationals All-Star Juan Soto.Blue Jays center fielder Raimel Tapia hit a rare inside-the-park grand slam on Friday night in Toronto's historic 28-5 rout of the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Tapia was aided in the feat by an all-around awful defensive play by his counterpart, Red Sox center fielder Jarren Duran. Based on his reaction, Tapia hit what he thought would be an easy flyout to center field to end the top of the third inning with two outs and the bases loaded. But Duran never located the ball, and it went soaring over his head. To compound his problems, Duran then made no attempt to go back and retrieve the ball.
Tapia raced around the bases and scored easily, putting four runs on the board as the Blue Jays extended their lead to 10-0.
