⭐️ 5th time #RedSox offense has been limited to 1 solo home run in a game this season. Most such games in American League (also #Astros and #Twins). In #MLB, only #Phillies (7) and #Mets (6) have had more such games.
#RedSox Willson Contreras' 29 extra-base hits this season is a team-best and tied for 14th-most in American League this season. #Mariners Julio Rodríguez is tied with Contreras (also #Angels Mike Trout and #Yankees Cody Bellinger). #Astros Yordan Alvarez is tops (39).
At the plate #BlueJays second baseman Ernie Clement lead American League with 20 doubles. Entered today's game ranked 3rd in AL for hits (84) after #Astros Yordan Alvarez (89) and #Royals Bobby Witt, Jr. (86).
⭐️ Andrés Giménez is just 30th #MLB player and first ever for #BlueJays to record multiple hits and 3 or more stolen bases while batting 9th in the batting order.
Is 3rd player to do that vs #RedSox (also #Rangers Elvis Andrus in 2009 and #Astros Jonathan Villar in 2013).
#BlueJays George Springer played 3 seasons at UConn before he was drafted by #Astros. In 2009, Springer became 1st player in UConn history to be named the Big East Rookie of the Year.
