The Boston Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night and you could certainly say it was a great homecoming for Sox' slugger Tyler O'Neill, who did something that hadn't been done in the last 11 years of baseball history.
beat the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday night to run their winning streak to three games. With the win, they are now 38-35, which is rather incredible considering that Lucas Giolito and Trevor Story are out for the season.
Furthermore, Triston Casas, Nick Pivetta, Brayan Bello, and Garrett Whitlock have all spent time on the injured list. The Blue Jays loss drops them to 35-37 as they fight to get back to .500. The Red Sox' win was punctuated by offense as Tyler O'Neill hit two homers and Ceddanne Rafaela and Rafael Devers each hit one.
In O'Neill's case, the performance likely had extra meaning given that he is from Canada and previously represented Canada in the World Baseball Classic.Per @Stathead, Tyler O'Neill is the fifth Canadian-born visiting player to have a multi-homer game in Toronto, and the first since Mariners' Michael Saunders on May 4, 2013.
