Can't they save some of these runs for
Jake Peavy? The Red Sox put up two touchdowns tonight in support for
John Lackey in
a 14-1 smoking of the Blue Jays at SkyDome.
David Ortiz went yard
twice and
Stephen Drew clouted a three-run shot as
The Carmine 'Hosers' showed no mercy to their brethren from
The Great White North. Ortiz passed
Carl Yastrzemski to move into 36th place on the All-Time HR list—now with 453. Boston knocked out 18 hits in the rout—
three each from
Mike Napoli,
Daniel Nava and
Xander Bogaerts. Ortiz and Drew each drove in four runs, while
Jackie Bradley, Jr. and
Christian Vazquez each drove in two. Lost in the offensive avalanche was the fact that Lackey went seven solid innings—
giving up just two hits. So, now they have won eight of their last nine and have moved out of the AL East cellar.
