By Michael Luciano
After getting knocked around London Stadium over the weekend, the Boston Red Sox are finding Canada much more hospitable than England. The Red Sox took a 3-1 lead against their division rival Toronto Blue Jays on Christian Vazquez's 13th home run of the season.

This is Vazquez's second home run in as many days, as he parked a hanger from Blue Jays reliever Derek law into the second deck at Rogers Centre.

Vazquez continues his breakout 2019 with home run No. 13. Coming into the season, he had only hit 10 since his major league debut way back in 2014.

In a season where JD Martinez has been really good but not a superstar and Mookie Betts has regressed to the mean, Vazquez has more than picked up the slack, and is currently the hottest hitter on this Boston team.
