Another Series Lost
Blue Jays Take Two of Three
The Sox continue to scuffling along as they limp to the end of May. The Blue Jays series at least wasn't a sweep, so if there's a such thing as moral victories...maybe this is a start.
However, in terms of what actually happened, the Sox keep coming up short. In game 1, the Jays were held in check through six innings by Dickey, but found themselves ahead 2-1. The Sox rallied to take a 3-2 lead, but a fatigued Chapman gave up a run to make it a 3-3 game. Urias suffered the loss as he gave up a walk-off 2-run HR.
Game 2 was a wild affair and the bats actually showed up. Ichiro is cooling back down but he got his first home run of the year...that's how off the Jays' pitching was in this one. Gallo, Carter, and Juan Francisco all picked up home runs as well as the Sox put a dozen on the board.
Tanner Roark continues to look shaky and couldn't dance through the rain drops this time. Fortunately for him, it didn't matter too much in this one, but the concern remains.
Game 3 was back to the usual lack of offense. This time, Chris Sale was the victim. He pitched his butt off again as he continues to put together a good start to the year. But you can't win if you can't score, and Stroman made sure the Sox didn't score. He shut Boston down on just 1 hit for the complete game 1-hit shutout.
Next series is an important one to close out the month. The Sox will travel to Camden Yards to face the 3rd place O's who are 3 games back.
