Trey Yesavage has a sharp season debut as Blue Jays beat Red Sox 3-0
TORONTO -- Trey Yesavage pitched into the sixth inning in a sharp season debut, Kazuma Okamoto drove in two runs and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Boston Red Sox 3-0 on Tuesday night.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr . added an RBI single as Toronto stopped Bostons season-best winning streak at three games and handed Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy his first loss since replacing Alex Cora , who was fired on Saturday.
The Red Sox failed to hit at least one home run for the first time in six games.
After being blanked 5-0 Monday, the Blue Jays bounced back to hand Boston its third shutout.
Yesavage (1-0) left to a standing ovation after pitching 5 1/3 innings. He struck out three, walked none and allowed four hits, three singles. He threw 74 pitches, 50 for strikes.
Torontos bullpen followed with 3 2/3 hitless frames. Mason Fluharty got two outs in the sixth and Jeff Hoffman struck out a pair in the seventh. Tyler Rogers worked the eighth and Louis Varland finished for his fourth save in four chances.
The 22-year-old Yesavage, who had a 3.58 ERA in six postseason appearances for Toronto last year, began the season on the injured list while recovering from a shoulder impingement.
Willson Contreras hit a one-out double in the first but Yesavage got Roman Anthony to ground out and retired Wilyer Abreu on a fly ball.
Yesavage finished his outing by striking out Contreras on a slider to begin the sixth.
Making his second start of the season, Red Sox left-hander Payton Tolle (0-1) allowed three runs and three hits in 4 2/3 innings.
Okamoto opened the scoring with a two-out single off Tolle in the third.
Tolle exited after back-to-back two-out walks in the fifth. Guerrero greeted Zack Kelly with an RBI single.
RHP Brayan Bello (1-3, 9.00 ERA) starts for Boston in Wednesday's series finale against Toronto LHP Eric Lauer (1-3, 6.75).
