I no longer follow baseball, and my BC, bleacher days of being a Red Sox fan are past, but I'm glad I wasn't in Fenway for this one

an unhappy teammate sums up the mood
And I’ll bet center fielder Jarren Duran wishes he hadn’t been either.
The visiting Blue Jays hit an inside-the-park grand slam
Journeyman outfielder Raimel Tapia came to the plate with 2 outs in the top of the 3rd inning of Friday’s Blue Jays-Red Sox matchup at Fenway Park.
The Jays already had racked up a 6-0 lead, but with the bases loaded had an opportunity for even more.
Tapia lofted a pop fly towards center field, and dejectedly tossed the bat away assuming an easy out.
Instead, Red Sox center fielder Jarren Duran immediately lost sight of the ball, and chaos ensued:
Tapia raced around the bases and easily beat the throw, resulting in an incredibly rare inside-the-park grand slam.
Clearly, this was not the Red Sox’s day: the Toronto Blue Jays set a franchise record for runs in a game, rolling past the Red Sox 28-5. I suppose this kind of play takes the heart out of a team.
