Willson Contreras hits 24th home run to match career high

Willson Contreras hit his 24th home run of the season during the Boston Red Sox's 6-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre. This achievement matches his personal career high set in 2019 while playing for the Chicago Cubs.

Contreras became the second Venezuelan player to hit at least 24 home runs for the Red Sox franchise, following the record set by Antonio Armas. The solo home run occurred in the fifth inning against pitcher José Soriano.

Other notable performances for Boston included Wilyer Abreu, who recorded his 24th double, and Andruw Monasterio, who recorded an RBI and has reached base in 22 of his last 24 games.
