Collects win Monday Woods Richardson (2-7) picked up the win over the Red Sox on Monday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over three relief innings. He struck out two.

Impact The lone run off the right-hander came on a bizarre play in the seventh inning when the scoreboard showed the wrong number of outs and both teams lost track, and a Boston runner trotted home without tagging up at third base on a flyout before Toronto got the ball to first base to record a somewhat haphazard double play. Starter Jameson Taillon (forearm) left the game early, and if he ends up landing on the IL, Woods Richardson could be the next man up in the rotation. Over four long-relief appearances for the Jays this season, he's managed a 0.69 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 13 innings despite a poor 7:8 K:BB.

Finally gets into win column Woods Richardson (1-7) notched the win Wednesday against the Red Sox, allowing no runs on three hits and three walks in three innings. He struck out one.

Impact Woods Richardson landed only 28 of his 55 offerings for strikes, but he still managed to keep Boston off the board en route to getting into the win column for the first time this year. After being jettisoned by the Twins earlier this season, the 25-year-old right-hander is up to seven scoreless frames covering two outings in bulk relief with the Blue Jays. Even so, Woods Richardson has a 6.75 ERA, 1.77 WHIP and 30:28 K:BB over 54.2 innings on the campaign and could be relegated to mop-up duties more frequently once Shane Bieber (elbow) is ready to make his season debut.
