Blue Jays rout Red Sox 8-1

The Toronto Blue Jays delivered a commanding performance against the Boston Red Sox, securing an 8-1 victory at Fenway Park.

Ernie Clement set the tone with a two-run home run in the third inning, while rookie Brandon Valenzuela added a solo blast to further extend the lead.

The Blue Jays' pitching staff held the Red Sox to just four hits, continuing a strong run of form for the Toronto rotation.

The loss adds to the mounting pressure on the Red Sox front office following a series of disappointing results and the recent firing of manager Alex Cora.
