May 29, 2009 Blue Jays 4, Red Sox 2

The first trip of the year north of the border goes south in the 7th inning. Homeruns for Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz put a 2-0 Jays lead down to a tie after 6 1/2, but a very sloppy bottom of the 7th for the Sox with Toronto getting three walks and two singles off of Daniel Bard and Ramon Ramirez give them two runs and the victory. Former Phillie Rod Barajas proves to be a pain in the ass today on a 3 for 3 day scoring the Jays first run after hitting a double and his single brings home the two runs in the 7th. And no, that zero atbats for Jays DH Kevin Millar is not a typo, he walked all three times to the plate. Twice of starter Tim Wakefield, and once in the disasterous bottom of the 7th.

In a good matchup it was the Toronto Blue Jays 4, the Boston Red Sox 2 at
Rogers Centre.
 
Brandon League(4-0) came on to close the door tight in relief.  He gave up
just 1 hit and 1 walk in 3 innings and racked up 4 strikeouts.  The Boston
offense proved no trouble in the 9th.  
 
Jason Frasor earned his 8th save. Daniel Bard(1-1) absorbed the loss in
relief.  He was unable to retire a batter and surrendered 1 hit and 2 walks.
