Blue Jays Rally to First Walk-Off Win of Season

The Toronto Blue Jays rallied from a 6-0 deficit to defeat the Boston Red Sox 7-6 in extra innings, capped by Alejandro Kirk's walk-off RBI single for their first walk-off win of the season. Daulton Varsho and Kirk hit back-to-back home runs in the sixth, while Anthony Santander's three-run homer in the seventh tied the game. Boston's early lead was fueled by home runs from Carlos Narvaez and Alex Bregman, and strong pitching from Lucas Giolito, who was making his first MLB start in over a year following injury. Jeff Hoffman earned the win for Toronto as their bullpen held Boston scoreless after the sixth inning. The Blue Jays are contending with injuries to pitchers Max Scherzer and Erik Swanson, contributing to ongoing rotation challenges. The victory snapped Toronto's offensive slump and could provide vital momentum as they work through roster issues.
