Blue Jays Win at Boston, 3-1
Toronto starter Mike Fiers put a stranglehold on the Boston offense. The right-hander had complete command of his fastball in leading the Blue Jays to a 3-1 win. Andres Munoz got the save, his 27th in 32 chances. The win has Toronto at 65-94.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Josh Bell? The Toronto first baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Blue Jays on top, 2-0. For the game, Bell had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Winning is hard sometimes," said Blue Jays manager Ryan Hicks. "This one was nice to get."
