RESULT OF PRIOR GAME
Boston Red Sox 6, Toronto Blue Jays 7 (W: B.J. Ryan, L: David Riske)
Sox Star of the Game: Jason Varitek- 4 AB, 2 H, 1 R, 3 RBI
Game Notes: A loss can’t get more painful than last night. To battle back from 6-0 to 6-6 shows what this team is made of, but unfortunately we only have two reliable pitchers in our bullpen, and one is on the DL. Would I have liked to see Papelbon pitch that 8th inning? Sure. But giving Riske a chance to step into a big situation is good for him. Tonight, the Sox MUST win with Beckett and Chacin matched up. This road trip is too hard to be giving away Beckett starts. (EVAN) Happy 34th birthday to Manny Ramirez! Coco Crisp is leading off, with Youkilis batting second. Mark Loretta has the day off after being hit in the left foot yesterday. Alex Cora mans second and bats ninth.
