Game 87 - The Jays almost tied it against Papelbon

Jonathan Papelbon came in to finish off the Blue Jays as the Soxs cane in with a 3-0 lead and then the Jays hammered him around the ball park as Cory Patterson singled to open the inning with a single and that was followed by Jose Bautista who hit his 28 homer on the season to make it 3-2 Soxs. Then after an Adam Lind strike out Edwin Encarnacion singled which was followed by JP's third walk of the game with two out and that was followed by a Johnny Mac single and Encarnacion tried to score the tying run but was thrown out at home plate to end the game and the Soxs won 3-2 to even the series @ 1.

The game was a good pitchers duel with Jon Lester who pitched 4 inning and left with an injury and only gave up a walks to JP and struck out 5 batters and than the Soxs bullpen before Papelbon came in they only gave up 2 hits and 2 walks in 4 innings while Brett Cecil pitched a complete game where he gave up 3 runs on 7 hits along with 2 walks and 6 Ks.

The Ball park had some strange happens in the game which could of changed the game around as Jason Varitek had a 320 ft RBI double off the wall in second inning while Jose Bautista had a 420 ft fly out in the fourth inning and that would off been a homer in the other stadiums. Also the Jays had second and first in the sixth inning Cory Patterson caught stealing third when Matt Albers turned to throw to third without steeping off the rubber and it ended the inning. The Red Soxs got another run in the second when J.D. Drew had a RBI single and then in the third inning Dustin Pedroia hit his 8 homer on the season and it was a solo shot.
