Clay Buchholz shrugged off the tightness in his back and gave the Red Sox seven solid innings last night. He struck out six and gave up just one run on three hits.
Seven straight wins, as the Red Sox went into Toronto with very little sleep and beat the Jays, 5-1.
The top of the order was tremendous, as both Jacoby Ellsbury and Dustin (No Knee Surgery For Me) Pedroia both got three hits, and the Machine Known As Adrian Gonzalez drove in two more to increase his MLB lead in RBI to 57.
Daniel Bard and Jonathan Papelbon both looked sharp, and with New York beating the Indians the Red Sox remain two games up in the AL East.
Can good fortune remain with the Red Sox? John Lackey takes the ball at Rogers Centre this afternoon.
