The Toronto Blue Jays extended their lead against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday thanks to a gutsy call.
Toronto’s Lourdes Gurriel Jr stole home successfully during a 3-run top of the fourth against Boston. Take a look at the jump he got:

That capped off a bad defensive inning from Boston’s battery. Two Christian Vazquez passed balls gave extra bases to Toronto, which they capitalized on to take a 5-2 lead. For Gurriel, that was his first stolen base of the season.
This was not a good look for the Red Sox, which received their 2018 World Series rings before the game but have begun this season 3-8.
