After being scratched from his last start, Daisuke Matsuzaka came back with a solid effort pitching for 7 innings only allowing two hits while striking out four Toronto Blue Jays as Boston won in the bottom of the ninth 2-1.
A repeat of last night’s game, Jason Varitek drove home Manny Ramirez for the game winning run on a single to center field much like Kevin Youkilis did last night for Boston’s second straight win.
Jonathan Papelbon earned his second win in two straight days as he pitched the ninth inning before the Sox walked off with the victory.
Star of the Game: David Ortiz
Ortiz went 2-4 with one run and one RBI as he hit a solo-homer to right field in the seventh inning of play.
