TORONTO — The Blue Jays have outscored the Red Sox 19-0 in the first two games of this three-game series. Boston lost 10-0 here at Rogers Centre on Saturday.
“The whole season. It’s been unreal to be honest with you,” manager Alex Cora said.
Yes, these two games are a continuation of what has happened all season. It has been ugly. The Blue Jays are 15-3 against the Red Sox with one game remaining between the two teams this season. They have outscored Boston an incredible 119-52, a negative-67 run differential for the Sox.
“I think it’s 0-8 in the second part of the season,” Cora said. “They just have dominated us in every aspect. We talk about their offense but we haven’t hit against them. We haven’t played well against them.”
The Red Sox have recorded just eight hits — all singles — in these two games. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays have crushed five home runs.
“There’s no excuses here,” Cora said. “We’re just getting — I can’t even say the word. I’d probably have to say it in Spanish. They have dominated us. That’s the bottom line. Tip your hat to them but we’ve got to be better. I know we have one more game against them but we talk about being better in the offseason and everything. It really doesn’t matter. Next year, we have to show up against the division because I’ve never seen anything like this.”
Boston dropped to 23-49 against AL East teams.
“They just dominated us this year,” Cora said. “Last year, we dominated two teams (Yankees, Rays) in the division in October when it mattered. But this year, we have absolutely been crushed in the division. The division is going to be good for a long, long time. And we’re going to be there.”
Cora discussed earlier Saturday why he thinks the Red Sox will be better in 2023.
The Red Sox have four games remaining, all against AL East opponents. They have one more game here Sunday against the Blue Jays, then wrap up their season with three games at Fenway Park against Tampa Bay.
“The effort is there. The results are not there,” Cora said. “We show up tomorrow and I would never doubt the way we prepare, the way we go about it. Right now, they’re playing better than us.”
