The Toronto Blue Jays look to snap a six-game losing streak as their road trip continues Monday against the Boston Red Sox. Watch live on Sportsnet ONE and Sportsnet+.

The Toronto Blue Jays are in the midst of a rough stretch, as they suffered their seventh consecutive loss on Tuesday night against the Boston Red Sox. The Blue Jays held a lead going into the late innings, but their bullpen failed to hold onto it, ultimately leading to a 5-4 defeat.

The game started off promising for the Blue Jays, as they jumped out to an early lead thanks to a two-run home run by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the first inning. The offense continued to produce throughout the game, with Marcus Semien adding a solo home run in the fifth inning to extend the lead.

However, the Blue Jays’ bullpen struggled to keep the Red Sox at bay. Reliever Tim Mayza gave up a two-run home run to Bobby Dalbec in the seventh inning, allowing the Red Sox to tie the game. In the eighth inning, Adam Cimber surrendered a go-ahead solo home run to Xander Bogaerts, putting the Red Sox ahead for good.

The loss marked the seventh consecutive defeat for the Blue Jays, who have now fallen below .500 on the season. The team has struggled with consistency on both offense and pitching, and their bullpen has been a particularly weak spot in recent games.

Despite the disappointing outcome, there were some bright spots for the Blue Jays in the game. Guerrero Jr. continued his hot streak at the plate, extending his hitting streak to 11 games with his home run. Semien also had a strong performance, reaching base three times and scoring two runs.

The Blue Jays will look to bounce back from their losing streak in their upcoming games, but they will need to address their bullpen issues if they hope to turn things around. With a tough schedule ahead, including matchups against division rivals like the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays, the Blue Jays will need to find a way to close out games if they want to stay in playoff contention.
