Boston Red Sox DFS SPIN
Masataka Yoshida finished 3-for-4 and hit his ninth homer in the win over the Blue Jays on Friday. Yoshida just missed a couple of games with general soreness and had been in a 2-for-19 slump. The homer tonight was hit 444 feet off José Bérrios. It was just shy his season high of 447 feet off Oliver Ortega 10 days ago. Those are the only two balls he’s hit over 412 feet thus far.
Toronto Blue Jays DFS SPIN
José Berríos gave up three homers and four runs over six innings in a loss to the Red Sox on Friday. Berríos struck out eight and walked none, so the outing was hardly a disaster. Still, with no run support to be had, he took his second loss in six weeks. It’s the eight time in his career, but just the third time since 2020, that he’s given up three homers in a start.
