The Red Sox lost, once again, to the Blue Jays 3-2. The Red Sox were held run-less until the 8th inning when they rallied to tie it up 2-2. Ellsbury hit a triple to send Ross home, and Pedroia sent Ellsbury home with an infield single. Then it came to Gomes and Ortiz to send Pedroia home to give us the go ahead run but they both struck out. Junichi Tazawa let up the go ahead run for the Jays in the 9th on a home run from Adam Lind, and that proved to be the outcome of the game as the Sox rallied a tiny bit in the bottom of 9th but failed to send anyone to home plate. Ortiz has struggled ever since he lost his hit streak and his average has quickly dropped from .420 to .330. Anyways, we saw what Tazawa can do in the 9th, and it's giving up home runs, which doesn't help us... We need our Bailey back, and the Sox need to get out this slump/struggle they've been having.
Anyways, Buchholz was once again solid, but he could not earn the win, getting the no decision. The Red Sox will take on the Blue Jays one more time this series, tomorrow at 1:35 PM. And after this, they will be heading on a long road trip to Tampa Bay, Minnesota, and Chicago, to take on the Rays, Twins, and White Sox. Again, let's hope we get out this struggle.
