4 takeaways as slumping Red Sox suffer sweep following 13-1 loss to Blue Jays

COMMENTARY

It wasn’t quite as gruesome as last year, when the Blue Jays outscored the Red Sox, 40-10, in a dominant three-game sweep early in the second half of the season.

That series, which featured a 28-run outburst from Toronto in the opener, will be extremely difficult to top.

This weekend’s series did, however, have a similar feel, in the sense that the Red Sox were outmatched against a far superior opponent. Toronto cruised to a 13-1 victory Sunday at Fenway Park, punctuating a decisive sweep in which it outscored Boston, 25-8.
