The Boston Red Sox were quite unlucky Monday night, only getting seven hits on a .321 expected batting average as they fell to the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-2, on Bo Bichette’s grand slam.

Matt Strahm relieved Nathan Eovaldi to start the eighth bottom half of the eighth, but let up a pair of hits (one was a missed catch by Bobby Dalbec on Strahm’s flip) and was quickly relieved by Tyler Danish with one out and the score at 2-2. Danish didn’t do the trick though, as a single loaded the bases before Bichette got ahold of one and cranked an opposite-field grand slam 344 feet.

Boston finally got on the board in the top half of the inning after repeatedly getting deep fly balls and missiles being caught for outs. Singles from Dalbec and Christian Arroyo led off the inning, before Kiké Hernandez (single) and Alex Verdugo (sac fly) tied the ballgame up.

The Sox received a seven-inning masterpiece from Eovaldi, who let up a pair of solo homers on five hits and five punchouts, not yielding one walk, but while the offense was making good contact, they couldn’t string together anything.

Tomorrow, the Sox look to break the three-game skid they’ve fallen into, as Nick Pivetta (0-3, 10.30 ERA) will look to right the ship against Kevin Gausman at 7:07 p.m. ET.
