| The Blue Jays ruin what could have been a win in Daniel Bard's first career start with a couple late homers off Alfredo Aceves that turn a 3-2 Red Sox lead into a 5-3 Blue Jays win. Bard showed some of the troubles that we now know would plague him in his 2012 season, walking 6 and allowing 5 hits over 5 innings. The Sox helped him by turning double plays in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th innings. Bard did allow back-to-back homers to Yunel Escobar and Colby Rasmus, but left with a 3-2 lead thanks to an RBI single from Adrian Gonzalez and a 2-run bomb from Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Alfredo Aceves entered in the 8th and blew the Sox lead by allowing a solo homer to Edwin Encarnacion, then allowed a 2-run walk-off in the 9th to Kelly Johnson. |
