A Game a Week

The Blue Jays defeat the Red Sox 2-1 in a game of missed opportunities. Beckett pitched eight good innings, but his offense couldn't come through for the win. Both teams had opportunities to score as the Blue Jays went 2 for 8 with runners in scoring position, the Red Sox 2 for 9. Each team knocked out three doubles, but everyone's timing was off. Jesse Litsch gets his second win and lowers his ERA to 4.02.

The teams split the four game series, good for the Red Sox as Toronto fails to gain any ground. But the Yankees finish off the Devil Rays 7-6, bringing their record in those contests to 7-14. They gain a game on both Boston and Toronto as they take three of four at the Trop. That puts them nine games behind the Red Sox, and they need to keep gaining a game a week for the rest of the season to over take Boston for the AL East title.
