Luis Perez did not have a good night

Luis Perez came into the game with one out with a runner on second in the seventhin a Red Sox 3-1 lead and after he got Nick Punto to ground out he gave up four straight hits which all scored a run and when David Otriz took a big turn at first and could not get back in time to end the inning. Luis had come into the game with not giving up a run in 9 of his 10 appearances and only had given up 3 hits and a 1.86 ERA over that time in 9.2 innings pitched and his only problem coming into the game just like a lot of other pitchers on the Jays as he had 8 walks and he will be back on his game next time but he left the game down 7-1. The Jays faced Clay Buckholz and he was not hit a lot 6 hits in 8 innings but when the Jays got a hit it was headed into the stands as he gave up two solo homers to make 6 solo homers (Yunel in the third and David Copper in the seventh) and nothing else in the last two games. The Jays could of smoked him early in the game and his ERA that is over 6 could of taken a beaten as in the first the Jays got their first two batters of the game on base on errors and then Bautista was struck out and Encarnacion hit into a double play to end the inning and in the second Colby Rasmus was hit to lead off the inning and he did not get past first base as Buckholz went three fly ball outs to end the inning. Henderson Alvarez had an OK game especially heading into the sixth when he needed some serious maintenance on the mound before the inning as he gave up a solo homer to David Ortiz in the second and an Adrian Gonzalez RBI single in the third as he gave up 5 hits and was only trailing 2-1. After the maintenance he gave a single to Daniel Nava, a double to Adrian Gonzalez, and a walk to load the bases and settled down and got two straight ground balls including a double play and only gave a single run but the Jays could get any run support for Alvarez as he ended the game with four runs on 8 hits abut only had two ks on the night. Hopefully Kyle Drabek can even the series for the Jays Tom Mehegan
