Frank Thomas and Dustin McGowan are putting a hurting on the Boston Red Sox tonight. Thomas has as many home runs as the Red Sox have hits, as his three homers accounted for five of the Blue Jays six runs. McGowan has struck out 8 through 8 innings without walking a batter, and the Red Sox only managed one run off their three hits.

It's Thomas' second three home run game in his career. His other also came in September, on the 15th in 1996. They were all solo shots in that game, and he was playing against the Red Sox that night.

Update: It's a final as McGowan completes the game, throwing 122 pitches, striking out nine and walking none. McGowan's K/BB is under 2.0 for the season despite a high number of strikeouts, so showing that kind of control against the Red Sox is a good sign. The Yankees are leading 6-2 in the bottom of the sixth inning.
