The Blue Jays battled with the Red Sox on Saturday, trading runs back and forth through the middle innings. Unfortunately, they were on the losing end of the battle, falling 6-4 to Boston in the second game of the series.
In the fifth inning, the Blue Jays started a hopeful rally. Ryan Goins and Jose Bautista were on first and second when Red Sox catcher Ryan Hanigan was charged with his second passed ball of the night, allowing the Jays’ runners to advance to second and third. Then, in a bizarre play, Michael Saunders struck out; however, the ball got past Hanigan once more and two runners scored with Saunders reaching first base safely.
