In a crucial series in which the Boston Red Sox were trying to further improve their place in the wild card standings, poor pitching performances and lack of fundamental baseball got in the way and Boston was swept at home by the Toronto Blue Jays. Gabby dives into what went wrong in the series, including tough outings from James Paxton, Chris Murphy, Mauricio Llovera and Nick Pivetta, as well as mistakes from Reese McGuire and Jarren Duran.

Gabby also goes over recent notable roster moves, including the call-up of infielder Luis Urías and the DFA of Christian Arroyo, as well as the call-up of newly acquired pitcher Nick Robertson and Joe Jacques getting optioned back to AAA.

Alex Cora chose to bench Alex Verdugo on Saturday after he allegedly showed up late to the ballpark. Is there more to this than we know about? Gabby shares her theory on the situation.
