- Summary -
The Jays finally lose, failing to take game 3 of the 4 game series. Cecil was tagged for 6 ER in what is his 1st bad start of the season, while all the Jays could muster was 6H 3ER off Bedard who went 8 innings. This game almost got out of control when Bedard hit Brett Lawre high on the shoulder. Lawrie left the game and will miss 11+ days with a Dislocated Shoulder. Next inning 1st batter, Cecil plunked SS Lowrie in the back, and he left the game as well. Cecil was tagged for 5 ER after that including a Ortiz 3 run HR over the green monster. Pedroia also doubled in 2 runs in the inning. Shortly after, Thome singled home Bautista, and Arencieba doubled home Thome from 1st, 5-2. Next inning Saltalamacchia drove home and run, and Lind doubled home a run to cut it to 6-3. That was all she wrote for the Jays as they couldnt solve Bedard from then on. Wilson Betemit will man 3B until Lawrie is to full strenth.
