Matt Chapman’s 9th-inning double lifts Blue Jays over Red Sox 3-2 for 3-game sweep

TORONTO (AP) — Matt Chapman hit a game-ending double off the center-field wall in the ninth inning, lifting the Toronto Blue Jays over the Boston Red Sox 3-2 on Sunday for a three-game sweep.

Toronto, which swept its ninth series this season, entered in the AL’s third and final wild card spot, a half-game behind Texas and a half-game ahead of Seattle.

Boston has lost eight of 10 and dropped nine games back of the Blue Jays with 12 games left.

Boston trailed 2-1 when Rafael Devers homered off Erik Swanson (4-2) with two outs in the ninth, Devers’ 33rd home run this season.
