Toronto Trumps Boston

TORONTO: 0 0 0 0 1 0 2 0 0 - 3 6 0

BOSTON: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 - 2 6 0

Hard for the Boston Red Sox to win a ballgame when the officiating is terrible. That called third strike on Ortiz in the ninth was clearly ball four. A walk to David would have given the Red Sox two on with one out and a much better chance to at least tie the game against the Toronto Blue Jays. And that opportunity in Fenway Park was taken away by umpire Dale Scott. At least Terry stood up for his players and got ejected for his trouble. A totally unsatisfactory game and a bad way to end the Boston homestand, even though the Red Sox won seven out of ten games during the three series. They do remain in fourth place in the AL East. The Red Sox will be heading out on the road for a short five-game trip and will play again on Friday in Detroit.
