Schneider homers in first MLB at-bat to help Blue Jays beat Red Sox 7-3

BOSTON (AP) — Davis Schneider homered in his first major league at-bat and the Toronto Blue Jays tied their season-high with five home runs in a 7-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Friday night.

“I was smiling the whole way around the bases and into the dugout,” Schneider said. “The guys on the team, they made me feel welcome as soon as I stepped foot in the locker room. Having them cheer me on as I came back in was pretty special.”

“What a moment for him. I wish all of Canada could have been in our dugout at that point,” Toronto manager John Schneider said.
