TORONTO — Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman blew a 100.9 mph fastball by Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to send Wednesday’s game into extra innings.
After Guerrero swung and missed at the 1-2 pitch to end the seven-pitch at-bat, Chapman stared him down. Guerrero looked back at the veteran closer and smiled, then Chapman smiled, too.
It was one of the more fun parts of Wednesday’s game. The Red Sox end up losing 7-6 in 10 innings here at Rogers Centre.
Chapman has been known to stare down some hitters after big strikeouts.
