[Bear]

Better looking lineup today.

[Rob from Mass]

Porcellos Ks the side around a BB.

[BoSoxFanNY]

DANG IT!
Bottom of the second inning
Jays 3 - Sox 0

[Rob from Mass]

Not a good inning.Walks hits wild pitch leads to a 3 run deficit.

[Rob from Mass]

Need Bogey back. Neither Lin or Holt are guys to count on.

[Rob from Mass]

Both pitchers have the K ball working.So far 15 strikeouts between them.

[markj]

Sox are doing it again. Only 61 pitches for Happ through 5 innings. They're just making it easy for him to go deep into the game. Being aggressive at the plate is fine, but you need to hit something.

[Rob from Mass]

Great diving catch by Betts on sinking liner from Hernandez saves a run.

[Rob from Mass]

A few runs here would help.

[markj]

Hanley with an RBI. Finally.

[Rob from Mass]

Last 3 games for Martinez: 0-for-10, seven strikeouts. STANTON LIKE.

[Rob from Mass]

Onto the 9th with 3-4-5 due up.

[Rob from Mass]

Key hit by Holt ties it up but Nunez out at home.
