BOSTON -- Marco Estrada does not have overpowering stuff, and he would not catch the attention of most scouts. But even so, he seems to have almost become Mr. Unhittable over the past two seasons in a Blue Jays uniform.
For the third time in less than a year, Estrada entered the eighth inning of a start without allowing a hit. His latest attempt came Sunday afternoon, when he was five outs away before Chris Young hit a solo home run to left in Toronto's 5-4 victory over the Red Sox.
Estrada carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning of back-to-back starts against the Orioles and Rays last season.
