Sox Fall Into Another Hole They Can't Climb Out Of
Give credit to the hardy souls who stuck this one out to the very end. Following a rain delay of more than an hour, the Red Sox allowed the Blue Jays to jump out to a 5-0 lead through the first 4.5 innings en route to a 7-5 Toronto win at Fenway Park.
Colby Rasmus had a double and hit his 22nd home run of the season to help pace the Toronto offense.
Boston starter Felix Doubront allowed 5 runs on 6 hits in 4+ innings; he walked two and struck out four.
Scott Podsednik had a pair of hits for the Red Sox. Mauro Gomez and Dustin Pedroia both went deep for Boston; Pedroia also drove in the 400th run of his Red Sox career in the bottom of the 5th inning on a ground out.
