Earns Win for Blue Jays Despite Surrendering Deep Fly Balls

Eric Lauer picked up a win for the Toronto Blue Jays in Wednesday's 8-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox. Lauer pitched 4.1 innings, allowing only one run on a solo home run by Willson Contreras. Despite giving up five hits and several deep fly balls that found outfielders' gloves, Lauer managed to limit the damage. The Blue Jays' offense provided ample support, turning what was expected to be a tight contest into a comfortable win to close out the series against their division rival.
