In a disappointing turn of events for the Toronto Blue Jays, third baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s error in the seventh inning led to the Boston Red Sox scoring a crucial run, marking the Blue Jays’ fourth error of the game.

The error came at a critical moment in the game, with the Red Sox holding a slim lead and looking to extend their advantage. With a runner on first base and one out, Guerrero Jr. fielded a ground ball cleanly but then made a wild throw to second base, allowing the Red Sox runner to advance to third and ultimately score on a sacrifice fly.

This error was just one of several defensive miscues that plagued the Blue Jays throughout the game. Earlier in the contest, shortstop Bo Bichette committed two errors, while second baseman Marcus Semien also had a costly error in the fifth inning.

The Blue Jays’ defensive struggles were particularly frustrating given their strong offensive performance in the game. Despite scoring five runs, including home runs from Guerrero Jr. and Teoscar Hernandez, their defensive lapses ultimately proved to be their undoing.

After the game, Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo expressed his disappointment with his team’s defensive performance, acknowledging that errors had been a recurring issue for the team this season. He emphasized the need for improved focus and execution on defense moving forward.

While Guerrero Jr.’s error was a key moment in the game, it is important to remember that baseball is a team sport and errors are a part of the game. The Blue Jays will need to regroup and refocus on their defensive fundamentals in order to avoid similar mistakes in future games.
