The state Department of Environmental Protection has issued an air quality warning for western and central Massachusetts, including Worcester.
The decreased air quality comes as Canadian wildfires continue to burn. There were 500 wildfires on Friday, June 30, with the smoke plume reaching as far as Europe, according to CBS News.
The Boston Red Sox topped the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday, July 1, on an outfield assist to the plate, 7-6.
The Red Sox were leading the Blue Jays 7-5 in the bottom of the ninth in Toronto. The Blue Jays had two men on second and first, with two outs, when a groundball base hit drove in one run to make the score 7-6. But Bo Bichette, the man on second, ran through a stop sign at third base to try to tie the game. Alex Verdugo, in right field, made the play and threw Bichette out to win the game.
