Vlad Jr’s first home homer Game Recap | Box Score When you attend some random, Wednesday night game, you don’t expect that you will be in for a 13-innings, four-hour and twenty-minute match. Alas, such was my fate. After a solid 6-innings from both Aaron Sanchez and Rick Porcello, Boston’s one-run lead felt pretty secure.…

JD Martinez locks in a win for the Red Sox with a 3 run home run Game Recap | Box Score With neither Chris Sale or Marco Estrada particularly sharp, either team had the opportunity to take the advantage. It was the Red Sox’s JD Martinez who took Estrada deep in the 5th with a…

Game Recap | Box Score Mookie Betts goes 4-for-6 with 8 RBI’s As so ends my four-game Canada Weekend series. The statistics for the Blue Jays were quite terrible, 0-4 and outscored 31-6 by the Red Sox and Orioles. As a fan without a team — I spend my time following a few teams, and the Jays…

There was a bit of controversy with this game as the Jays accused Buchholz of doctoring the ball with some gunk on his arm.
