The Boston Red Sox had a lack of offense on Friday night as they lost to the Toronto Blue Jays 6-3. The Red Sox only scoring came off the bat of J.D. Drew when he hits a three run homer in the seventh inning. Other then that, the Red Sox sucked on Friday!
Tim Wakefield pitching good until the sixth inning when Matt Stairs hit a homerun. Wakefield then walked Alex Rios, struckout Vernon Wells, and walked Frank Thomas before Lyle Overbay hit a loop single that scored Rios. Aaron Hill followed with a drive to deep center that Jacob Ellsbury tracked down but dropped as he collided with the outfield wall. Thomas came home as Hill was credited with an RBI single.
The Blue Jays tacked on some more insurance runs in the seventh and eight innings, but not like it mattered with the way the Red Sox hitters were hitting. They didn’t have a shot at coming back in the game. The Red Sox will try to get back on the winning ways on Saturday as they play the Blue Jays once again.
