Blue Jays edge Red Sox after chaotic scoreboard play
The Boston Red Sox lost 2-1 to the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre, extending their slide. The Red Sox's lone run came in the seventh when Anthony Seigler scored from third on a Ceddanne Rafaela sacrifice fly after the scoreboard incorrectly showed two outs. Umpires reviewed the play with MLB's replay center in New York during a lengthy delay and ultimately ruled Seigler's run valid. Jays manager John Schneider and Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy called the sequence chaotic but said the ruling stood. The incident highlighted how a malfunctioning scoreboard and rare timing plays can swing a game, despite Toronto holding on for the win. Boston had been riding a stretch of strong road play and momentum that was tempered by this unusual loss.
