Trevor Story of the Boston Red Sox celebrates with Wilyer Abreu after Abreau scores against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday.

The Toronto Blue Jays ’ final homestand of the regular season got off to an uneasy start Tuesday night, as they suffered a 4-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox.

With their quest to win the division hanging in the balance over this final six-game homestand, the AL East-leading Blue Jays did not inch any closer to clinching it, in the defeat to third-place Boston, a club also jockeying for playoff position.

The New York Yankees (89-68) gained on Toronto (90-67) by walking off the Chicago White Sox 3-2. So now the Jays have just a 1.0 game advantage over New York for both the AL East division lead and top spot in the American League. Boston (85-71) is five games back.
