What is the story about?
Blue
Jays 10 Red Sox 11
Of course, batters are ahead of pitchers early in spring training. Lots of scoring.
Pitching:
- Fernando Perez started for the Jays and had a rough time. It started with a Riley Tirotta error (playing first base). Then a hard line out to center. A double. A ground out, scoring the first run. A walk and a single, scoring another. And a double scoring two more. All unearned, but 4 runs scored, with Perez getting just two outs.
- Hunter Gregory got the last out of the inning, a strikeout.
- Chase Lee had a perfect second inning, getting a strikeout.
- Lazaro Estrada threw two scoreless innings, with 2 hits, 1 walks and 1 strikeout.
- Spencer Miles had a scoreless 5th, with a strikeout, single and walk.
- Yariel Rodríguez came in for the 6th, and he didn’t make a case for getting back on the roster. 5 hits and a walk, and 6 earned runs, while getting just two outs.
- Devereauz Harrison (road spring games is a place to see guy you have never heard of), hit a batter and gave up a 2-run double.
- Connor Seabold started the 7th. He gave up a hit, two walks and had two strikeouts, with 1 earned run getting just the 2 outs.
- Brendan Cellucci got the 3rd out of the seventh.
