(AP/Photo/Jim Davis) BOSTON (AP) — José Berríos pitched seven scoreless innings, George Springer had three hits and two RBI singles, and the Toronto Blue Jays earned a 9-0 win over the Boston Red Sox on Friday night. Bo Bichette, Alejandro Kirk, Ernie Clement and Andrés Giménez also drove in runs for Toronto, which has won six of eight meetings with its AL East rivals this season. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. added two hits. Advertisement Berríos (4-3) allowed just four hits and struck out eight and surrendered only one walk in handing Boston its sixth loss in a row. Boston's Brayan Bello (3-3) gave up three runs off eight hits over six innings with a strikeout. But he didn't get support from a Red Sox lineup that has managed just four runs over their last three games. Boston was held to one run or none for the 15th time this season. Boston opponents have scored at least eight runs four times over the last nine games — all Red Sox losses. Guerrero Jr. was a late addition the the Blue Jays' lineup. He left their series finale win over Cleveland on Thursday after being hit by a pitch in his right forearm. X-rays didn't reveal a fracture, but manager John Schneider originally was going to be cautious and start Clement at first base. Advertisement Key moment With runners on first and second with two outs in the first, Springer lined a single to center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela. Guerrero Jr., who was on second, tried to score and was called out on Rafaela's throw home to catcher Connor Wong. Toronto challenged, and replay showed Wong missed on the tag, overturning the call. Key stat This marks the first six-game losing streak for Boston since Sept. 26, 2022. Up next RHP Chris Bassitt (7-3, 3.61 ERA) is set to start to make his 17th start of the season for the Blue Jays on Saturday. RHP Lucas Giolito (3-1, 4.53) is slated to make his 11th start for the Red Sox. ___ AP MLB:

Red Sox Make Roster Moves, Call Up Infielder For Marcelo Mayer

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Boston Red Sox have seen many changes come to their roster in first half of this season. From acquiring All-Stars in the offseason such as Alex Bregman and Garrett Crochet, to calling up the No. 1 prospect in baseball, to sending another top prospect back to Triple-A, to suddenly trading homegrown superstar Rafael Devers, Boston's roster has been amorphous. Ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Red Sox announced another change to the lineup. "The Red Sox (on Friday) placed INF Marcelo Mayer on the Bereavement List," the team announced on Twitter. "To fill his spot, Boston recalled INF/OF Nick Sogard from Triple-A Worcester."

MoreThere was no announcement regarding how long Mayer will be on bereavement leave, though teams typically allow three to seven days maximum. Nick Sogard was slated to play third base on Friday. In 14 games with the major league club this season, Sogard has slashed .245/.302/.306 with a .608 OPS. Mayer, who had played second base during the Red Sox's last series in Anaheim, was replaced at the position by David Hamilton on Friday.

Red Sox put RHP Justin Slaten (shoulder) on 15-day IL

June 1 - The Boston Red Sox put right-handed reliever Justin Slaten on the 15-day injury list due to shoulder inflammation. It was one of several roster moves the Red Sox made Sunday morning, which included replacing Slaten on the roster with right-hander Luis Guerrero. The latter was called up from Triple-A Worcester. The Red Sox also selected the contract of utility player Nate Eaton and optioned infielder Nick Sogard to Triple-A, designating catcher Blake Sabol for assignment to clear roster space. Slaten, 27, has been a key piece of Boston's relief staff this spring, despite his 1-4 record. He has appeared in 24 games with a 3.47 ERA over 23 1/3 innings. A third-round pick of the Texas Rangers in 2019, Slaten is in his second season with the Red Sox. A year ago, he went 6-2 with a 2.93 ERA and 58 strikeouts over 44 appearances. He's been less dominant in 2025 and has cited fatigue as a reason for the dip. Guerrero, 24, has been stellar in limited major league action over two seasons, posting a sparkling 0.59 ERA over 15 1/3 innings (13 appearances). Overall, Guerrero is 14-12 with a 3.11 ERA in 133 minor league appearances. Eaton, who plays the outfield and third base, was a 21st-round 2018 draft pick of the Royals. He has with 159 major league at-bats, hitting .201. The 28-year-old last appeared in the majors for Kansas City in 2023. Sogard, 27, hit .245 for Boston this year in 14 games (49 at-bats). Sabol, 27, has an even smaller sample size this year than Sogard (eight games, 16 at-bats), but has had limited success, batting .125. --Field Level Media
