Felix Doubront earned his second major league win and Mike Lowell crushed a solo home run as the Red Sox defeated the Blue Jays 7-5. After Lowell's bomb in the eighth, Jed Lowrie doubled in an insurance run and that was all that Jonathan Papelbon needed to earn his 29th save. J.D. Drew also bombed a long home run. Jacoby Ellsbury continued to hit as he knocked in a run in the second inning. Ellsbury went 2-4 in the number nine spot while shortstop Marco Scutaro went 0-5 out of the leadoff spot. I think Jacoby should be moved back into the leadoff spot since Scutaro is stinking up the joint this year. Yesterday's game gave supporting evidence to my idea.
Today, the series continues with Clay Buchholz, who has won his last two starts, against 10-5 Shaun Marcum.
Trivia
Lowell has been hitting in key spots since coming back, first a go-ahead two-run bomb at Fenway, now this.
