Travis Snider is back in a big way

Travis Snider is back and is doing everything righ so far as he showed in the first two games of the series that he knew how to play left field at Fenway while collecting a hit in both games and today he showed how he could swing the bat as he hit a homer into the outfield camera bay for a two-run shot in the fifth to put the Jays up 11-4 on their way to crushing the Red Soxs 15-7. Travis had a sac fly in the eighth inning and is hitting 4 for 11 (.367) with a homer and double in his first three games of the season. The Jays faced Jon Lester and the Jays batting order coming in were hitting .193 with two homers against him but Brett Lawrie back in lead-off set the tone for the game as on the first pitch of the game a sinking fastball that just like Encarnacion and Arencibia did last night took the pitch to the parking lot and the Jays did not look back. The Jays pounded out 15 runs on 18 hits and they swept away the Soxs for the first time since September 2009 as they put up five spot in the first and a four spot in the eighth inning as they batted around both innings and Lester did not have much fun he gave up 8 runs in the first two innings and left the game given up 11 runs on 9 hits with four homers and 5 walks and the Jays hit .529 (9 for 17) against him in the game. In the 18 hit attack Brett Lawrie had two hits and scored three runs while Yunel back in the two spot had three hits and scored two runs and Colby Rasmus had a two-run single in the eighth and scored twice. Edwin Encarnacion had a RBI single in the first and a sac fly in the eighth and Arencibia had a three-run shot in the second and ended up with 4 RBIs and Rajai Davis had three hits including his sixth homer of the season as he went back to back with Arencibia in the second and drove in two runs in the game. The Jays had a complete performance from their offense as 10 players got a hit including Adam Lind off the bench while Omar got two more hits to move up the hit list with 2858 hits in his career. Henderson Alvarez was the starting pitcher and like most starts he struggled coming out of the bullpen as he allowed an Adrian Gonzalez three-run homer and then settled down eight in a row heading to the fourth and loaded the bases and got out of it with only given up a sac fly RBI to Mike Aviles as he lost his control a little. In the fifth he gave up a lead-off homer to Jacoby Ellsbury and it looked like he was going to get through 6 innings by retiring the last six batters he faced but a Ryan Sweeney fly ball to Rajai Davis was lost in the sun and Alvarez gives two more runs as he is unable to get out of the sixth. He gave up 7 runs on 8 hits and walked only one in 5.2 and his performance would of been much better if Rajai did not lose the ball and of course the first inning troubles once again. Arron Loop came and settled everything down retiring his 7 batters and Andrew Carpenter made his Blue Jays debut with a clean ninth inning Tom Mehegan
