George Springer homers, Easton Lucas keeps perfect ERA as Toronto beats Boston 6-1 in frigid Fenway
One night after going 4 for 4 with three RBI, Springer broke a scoreless, sixth-inning tie with a 404-foot homer to the flagpole in center field. Tyler Heineman and Bo Bichette added singles in the four-run inning, when Toronto also took advantage of two walks and two errors to chase Garrett Crochet.
Lucas (2-0), a well-traveled reliever who pitched five scoreless innings in his first career start against Texas on Wednesday, shut Boston down on three hits and a walk, striking out eight.
Crochet (1-1) gave up four runs — just one earned — on five hits and four walks while striking out five in 5 2/3 innings.
After Myles Straw walked, Heineman hit a grounder toward second base and Kristian Campbell threw wide of first for another error. Alan Roden walked, and Zack Kelly gave up a run-scoring single to Bichette.
Bichette added another RBI single in the eighth.
Boston’s Triple-A affiliate in Worcester, about an hour west but with substantially the same weather forecast, postponed its Tuesday night game.
