Boston Red Sox beat Toronto Blue Jays 6-1 to clinch sixth straight series win
On July 26, 2026, the Boston Red Sox defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 6-1 at Fenway Park. Ranger Suárez returned from the injured list to start for Boston, throwing four scoreless innings, allowing four hits and striking out six. Greg Weissert earned the win after a scoreless relief appearance. Kevin Gausman started for Toronto, gave up three runs over six innings and remained winless in his past 11 starts with a 5.93 ERA since May 22. Boston’s offense was powered by Jarren Duran’s two‑run single, Jahmai Jones’s pinch‑hit two‑run double, and an RBI single by Ceddanne Rafaela. The victory gave the Red Sox their sixth consecutive series win and extended their strong stretch to 17 victories in the last 19 games. After the game, Boston activated newly acquired infielder Curtis Mead following a trade that sent left‑hander Connelly Early to the Washington Nationals. The Red Sox now head to a seven‑game West Coast road trip against the Oakland Athletics.
