Lawrie and J.P. back in the lineup makes Jays more comfortable

Brett Lawrie started the game delivering a huge spark to the line-up as he doubled to lead-off the game and scored the first run of the game when Edwin Encarnacion drove him home with a sac fly and the Jays took a 5-0 lead and held onto a 7-5 victory over the Red Soxs. Colby Rasmus was the big benefactor with Brett Lawrie back in the lineup as he battled starter Felix Doubront in the first inning and hitting a nubber to Dustin Pedroia who left his feet and barely got him out at first and moved Lawrie to third but he had to important hits in two of his last three at bats with a triple that barely missed a homer to start the fifth and scored to make it 5-0.Then in the top of the ninth with the Jays up 5-3 he hit an even more important two-run homer of Daniel Bard who was wild as the have seen him this season. This was a very important homer because the Jays were up 7-3 but the Soxs got a two-run homer from Mauro Gomez off Steve Delabar with two outs in the bottom of the ninth and he had three of the Soxs five RBIs and two of there seven hits as well. Colby Rasmus got some help from his friends as Edwin Encarnacion hit a solo homer in the third inning to give them a 2-0 and Moses Sierra came up with a two-run homer in the fourth inning and then added two walks as well. Yunel Escobar had two of the Jays 8 hits got a RBI single in the fifth inning and J.P. did not get on base going 0 for 4 and Adam Lind was the only other starter to not get on base. Henderson Alvarez came out with a great game plan as he moved the ball around the strike zone and kept the ball down in the zone and kept the ball in the park and he really did not get hurt in the game and really worked as a team with J.P.. He did gave up a run in the fifth inning when Kelly Johnson had a perfect double play set-up from Brett Lawrie but his throw to first skipped just before the bag and Edwin dropped the ball that would of end the inning. Alvarez gave up two runs on 4 hits with a k and two walks in 6.1 and one of the walks came into score after he left when Darren Oliver gave up a RBI single to Mauro Gomez. With one out in the seventh with Mauro Gomez at first Rajai Davis who had brain fart earlier came up clutch with a grab to save a run and end the inning as he first over runs the ball at the wall and leans back with his glove and makes the catch and Mauro Gomez was going all out as he believed the ball was not being caught so he was an easy double up at first as he was already on his way to third. It is nice to see the Jays get healthier with J.P. and Brett Lawrie returning but lost J.A. Happ for the rest of the season as he fractured his foot a couple of weeks ago which is like a Penguin doctor thing that I do not know because why did they not get x-rays done after the Yanks because it did look like he was a little off.
