| The leadoff batter for each team gets a hit, with vastly different results. Yunel Escobar led off the game for the Jays with a single, but Josh Beckett retires the next 10 batters to face him until Adam Lind singles in the 4th. For the Sox, Jed Lowie led off their first inning with a solo homerun, and that opens the floodgates with Dustin Pedroia singling but geeting caught stealing second, Gonzo and Youk both walk, Big Papi singles to load the bases and Mike Cameron singles to the outfield with two crossing the plate. That would give Jays starter Jo-Jo Reyes the very early hook, but next pitcher Shawn Camp offers no relief as Jason Varitek rips a 3-run homerun with two of those runs charged to Reyes. Six runs total score in the Sox first inning, and they are on cruise control from there. The win also ties the Sox with the Yankees at this very early juncture atop the AL East standings, both with 9-4 records. The Blue Jays drop to 3-11, the worst record in the majors and tying their 2004 team for the worst start in franchise history. |
