Red Sox 10, Blue Jays 7: Don’t ever count this team out
This team is something special. We already knew this and didn’t really need more evidence, but we also won’t complain about getting it. The Red Sox twice looked like they could lose this game. Early on, it was because Marcus Stroman was as good as I’ve ever seen him, and the Red Sox offense had no answer. Drew Pomeranz did keep the score close despite not looking very good at all, but that proved to be important. J.D. Martinez gave the Red Sox a late lead with a big home run. Unfortunately, Matt Barnes and Craig Kimbrel allowed a run each to push the game to extras. Of course, with this team it doesn’t matter. They went out and hit two dingers and scored five runs in the tenth and went home with a win.
