Redsox Take Wild Game 2 - Tie Series 1-1
In a wild game #2, the Boston Redsox come out on top to tie the series and head to Boston for games 3 and 4. With a show of bats, pitching also showed hints of dominance at times.
Boston grabbed the early lead after Dustin Pedroia hit a 2 run HR to start the game. The Blue Jays would come out hot and get three straight base hits. Luckily, Porcello limited the damage to just 2 runs. Bottom of the 2nd, Blue Jays come out swinging again ripping two more base hits to start. Porcello once again was able to escape with minimal damage. Blue Jays would lead 4-2.
Top of the 4th would be quite an eventful top half for the Redsox. Travis Shaw would smack a solo shot on a curveball while Jackie Bradley Jr. would also hit a solo shot to tie the game 4-4. Porcello settled in a nice groove until the 6th inning where he would get in a jam allowing a lead off walk. With a runner on 3rd, 1 out, Redsox intentionally walked a batter to have runners on the corner. Porcello would strike out the next batter and ground out the next one to escape danger.
Top of the 9th, first two batters went down with very little resistance, however, Loup would peg Christian Vasquez. With a runner on first, two outs, Jackie Bradley Jr. would rope a shot to LF, as it looked it would be caught, the left fielder would dive and MISS! With the ball rolling to the backstop and Vasquez getting a jump with two outs, he would score and this would prove deadly for the Blue Jays. Kimbrel would come in and do his thing, allowing 0 hits, 1 strikeout.
Next game will be in Boston, Massachusetts. If Boston can take game 3 and 4, they will be sitting pretty, if they split, they head back to a very tough Toronto city.
