Boston's turnaround under Tracy has been the story of the American League — a team that sat well under .500 in late June is now hunting the buyer's side of the trade deadline instead of the seller's, and Sunday's win was just another data point in that shift. Fenway's bats got to Toronto's bullpen late, breaking the game open in the 7th to turn a tight afternoon into a laugher.
For the Blue Jays, this is the same story that's followed them all July: a rotation ravaged by injury, a lineup missing Addison Barger for good and Anthony Santander for the foreseeable future, and now a front-line arm in Gausman getting shopped instead of trusted to stop a slide. Toronto still has Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and enough talent to scare people, but afternoons like this one are exactly why the roster's about to look different in a week.
Boston, meanwhile, gets to enjoy a series win with its trade-deadline leverage growing by the day. Suarez back in the fold gives Tracy a healthier-looking staff right when the front office is deciding whether to lean into this run, and a series like this one — taking 2 of 3 from a fading division rival — is the kind of stuff good teams are supposed to do.
