July 12, 2007 Red Sox 8, Blue Jays 0

No all-star game yet. I will do that over the nice 3 day weekend when I have time and I am nice and relaxed to play with everything for the game! In the meantime.... The final score may not show it, but this was a pitchers duel between Tim Wakefield and Ray Halladay. With Wakefield and Halladay both on their games today, the Sox don't get their first run until a 5th inning David Ortiz sac fly. The score would stay 1-0 until the Sox explode in the 7th. After an out and a Coco Crisp double, Halladay's day was done and in comes Brian Wolfe. That was a big mistake for the Jays, as the next 6 Sox batters reach base off of Wolfe and Josh Towers, as the Red Sox explode for 7 runs in the inning. The big blows were a Mike Lowell 3-run homer and a Youlk 2-run single. Wakefield would walk 2 in the 8th and strand both, and a double, single and walk load the bases for Toronto in the 9th. Lyle Overbay grounds into the game-ending double play, and Wake gets the 4 hit shutout.
