Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Anthony Bass said Thursday he doesn’t believe an anti-LGBTQ+ social media post he shared last month was hateful. The right-handed reliever also said he is “working hard” to educate himself, including meeting with the executive director of activist group Pride Toronto. Bass is scheduled to catch the ceremonial first pitch from a Toronto LGBTQ+ activist before Friday’s game against Minnesota as the Blue Jays begin their fourth annual Pride Weekend celebration. Bass says he apologized for his post because other people saw it as hateful. He says he stands by his personal beliefs but won't post them on social media.
José Ramírez homered in his first three at-bats to power the Cleveland Guardians to a 10-3 win over the Boston Red Sox. Ramírez connected for a solo shot in the first inning off Matt Dermody, belted a two-run shot in the third and added another solo blast in the sixth when the Guardians collected eight straight hits. Ramírez came up a second time in the sixth bidding for a rare four-homer game, but struck out. The four-time All-Star had another chance in the eighth, but grounded to third. There have only been 16 four-homer games in the majors since 1901. The last to do it was Arizona’s J.D. Martinez in 2017.
