Despite the series win and mile-high vibes, the Boston Red Sox failed to clinch a Wild Card spot against the Toronto Blue Jays on September 25.
Boston fell, 6-1, to the longtime division leader after a rocky outing from Brayan Bello and nearly nonexistent offense. The Blue Jays' six runs all came in the sixth inning after Trevor Story opened the inning with a throwing error and Bello was unable to recover. The error was Story's seventh in September, alone.
After the error, Bello walked Addison Barger, plunked Anthony Santander to load the bases, and was swiftly pulled for Justin Wilson.
