Red Sox Show Off Bats with a Frenzy of Runs
Red Sox starter, John Lackey, was making his second start since returning from the DL. He got ample run support. Lackey would go 6 innings, giving up 4 runs in the process. Brandon Morrow, the Jays starter, had a disasterous start, giving up 9 runs in 4.1 innings before John Farrel, the Jays manager, took him out of the game. The Sox got their first run on A-Gon’s RBI double in the third inning. In that inning, the Sox would score another 3 more runs. After David Ortiz was intentionally walked, Jed Lowrie would get hit by a pitch, forcing a runner home. Carl Crawford would bring in A-Gon with a sacrifice fly out to left field. Marco Scutaro would bring in Big Papi from second base with a soft single. There was a close play at the plate, but Big Papi was safe.

Jason Varitek would get another run in the 6th inning, an RBI single off of Jays reliever, Octavio Dotel, bringing in Marco Scutaro. Edwin Encarnacion would hit a 2 run homer in the 6th inning, the last Blue Jays run. Meanwhile, the Red Sox were about to score more. Jacoby Ellsbury would ground out with the bases loaded, however, only Ellsbury got out on the play. Marco Scutaro would come in from third. So, with men in scoring position and one out, Dustin Pedroia would hit a 2 run double. The Red Sox would win by a final score of 16-4.
