Jays bullpen blows up really good
The Jays behind a Brett Lawrie double in the first that was cashed in by Edwin Encarnacion RBI single took a 1-0 lead that lasted till the seventh inning but Edwin on the play moved to second on a bad throw by Will Middlebrooks. This put two runners in scoring position against Daisuke Matsuzaka put Johnson popped up and Escobar lined to Daisuke to end the inning. The Jays carried a 1-0 lead into the seventh behind Arron Laffy and after given up a Mike Aviles single to start the game he retired 12 straight batters and in the sixth Laffy got a great fielding play from Rajai Davis who after walking Dustin Pedora gave up a double off the green monster and Rajai gunned down Pedora at the plate with a great block of the plate from Jeff Mathis.
The Jays brought the bullpen in for the seventh and Jason Frasor got two quick outs but then nobody could get an out as Jarrod Saltalamacchia homered to tie the game and Farrell decided to bring in Luis Perez and he faced Ryan Kalish who doubled off him and that was it for Perez. He then went back to the pen and brought in David Pauley who showed he could not get anyone out because he faced 6 and all reached base as he hit Daniel Nava and walked Mike Aviles which lead to Dustin Pedora hitting a two-run single to give the Red Soxs a 3-1 lead after Aviles got caught between second and third to end the inning. Then it really looked like Farrell throw in the towel as he brought Pauley again and he gave up two doubles sandwiched around a single to start the eighth before Scott Richmond came in and put out the fire as he faced three batters and retired all three and only allowed one of Pauley's runners to score as the Red Sox won 5-1.
Arron Laffy shutout the Soxs on 3 hits and 2 walks and really put up a very good showing in the game and will get another start as he got a lot of ground ball outs in his sixth innings and this from a guy who has not started in the Majors in two seasons. While Daisuke Matsuzaka who is only pitching in his 5 game since coming back from Tommy John surgery and pitched 5.2 innings of one run on 6 hits and a walk but only gave up two hits and a walk after the second inning so the Jays could of taken him to the woodshed but was not able to get that key hit.
