- Summary -
The Jays take game 2 of this 4 game series 5-2, following their great 1st game up with another great pitching performance by Jonathan Sanchez who went 7.2 strong with 8 K's and 2 ER. Ben Francisco's 1st game as a Jay went well going 2/4 with a run. If he plays like that every game he will find himself ahead of Davis on the Depth Chart. The Red Sox jumped out to the 1-0 lead when Gonzalez singled home the runner from 2nd. Next inning Lind smacked a lead off Solo Shot, his 1st since retuning to the lineup from that DTD injury. After a flurry of hits, Escobar singled home a run, and Jones did the same shortly after. In the 5th Bautista creamed his 6th homer of the season, a solo shot to opposite feild. In the 6th Elsbury doubled home a run, and Lind hit a single to center that went past Ellsbury to allow Bautista to score from 1st. Feliz came in for his 5th Save and hasnt allowed a run yet this season.
