| The Blue Jays out-homered the Sox in this game by a 4-0 margin, but the Sox top the Jays in the much more important runs column. The Jays started the power show early with 3 runs on 2 homers in the 1st off Jon Lester. The Sox tied it in the top of the 3rd thanks to three singles and two wild pitches from Jays starter Ricky Romero.The Blue Jays re-took the lead in the bottom of the 4th with an Eric Thames two run homer. The Sox rallied in the 8th, scoring four runs on only two hits. Dustin Pedroia started the inning with a walk, moved to 2nd on a wild pitch, then scored on an Adrian Gonzalez single. The next two batters struck out, Darnell McDonald walked, and pinch hitter Ryan Sweeney hit a double that scored both runners, then a bad throw from center scored Sweeney. The Blue Jays broke out the lumber again to tie in in the bottom of the 8th on a Brett Lawrie home run. The game went to extra innings, when Kevin Youkilis led off with a triple then scored on a David Ortiz sac fly. Mark Melancon got the 1-2-3 bottom of the 10th to preserve his win. |
