Fenway Park saw its fair share of history Friday night, but unfortunately for the quickly falling 48-46 Boston Red Sox, none of it went in their favor.<\/span><\/p>\n In their first game back from the All-Star break, the Red Sox to a brutal 28-5 beatdown the Toronto Blue Jays.<\/span><\/p>\n In the third inning, Toronto’s Ramiel Tapia hit the first inside-the-park grand slam of the majors since 2017. Tapia drilled a fly ball to his counterpart center fielder Jarren Duran, who charged forward in a complete miscalculation of the ball’s location.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cFrom the get-go when he hit the ball I saw his reaction and I thought ‘He didn’t see that ball,’\u201d said manager Alex Cora. \u201cThere’s nothing you can do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n After he made contact, Tapia appeared disappointed, expecting a fly-out to mark the end of the inning.<\/span><\/p>\n Instead, the ball fell several feet behind Duran and when its location was finally clear, the rookie centerfielder stared at it as Lourdes Gurriel, Santiago Espinal, Danny Jansen, and Tapia raced around to give the visitors a 10-0 lead.<\/span><\/p>\n
