The Boston Red Sox seem to drop these games when its just starting to look like a win.

It happened again in this game, after the Sox still had the lead after 5 innings. It was 3-2, thanks to Lowell’s hit in the first and Rocco Baldellis two run homer in the 3rd, surprising many and helping all of us in our trust with the outfield.

Then in the bottom of the 3rd, Lind hit in Alex Rios, who went 4-4 for the day with two runs and two RBI’s.

In the 6th, Adam Lind did it again with his solo home run to lead off the inning. Then the Red Sox fans cursed their decision to trust Rocco, as he got injured in the same inning after going into the outfield wall. His injured knee could be a major issue for the team.

Brad Penny was done after the 6th inning, as he gave up 10 hits and two earned runs. He hoped the offense could take care of the game and the bullpen could keep the Blue Jays silent. He was wrong.

Ramirez, usually a very trustworthy reliever, came into the game for the seventh. He let it get ugly fast. Scutaro got a single, then had a wild pitch get him to second. Alex Rios, still on his hot game, singled to put in a run. Vernon Wells doubled in the same game, and knocked in Rios.

The Sox didn’t answer, the only thing left was a single by Lowell in the 9th. Other than that, the team fell again.

Ramirez got the loss. David Ortiz went 0 for 4 again, to no ones surprise. The only person with a nice game was Lowell’s 2 for 4, and Rocco’s home run before his injury.

Its looking tough for the Sox. The offense had ten less hits then their opponents, and the bullpen fell hard along with Penny. Another tough lost for the Sox.
