TORONTO — Two games, two runs scored for the Blue Jays’ top-ranked offense against the Red Sox’ starting pitching duo of Clay Buchholz and Eduardo Rodriguez.
The only team scoring more than five runs per game this season (the Jays’ entered Tuesday averaging 5.4 runs, even more than the Sox averaged in 2013), Toronto hitters have looked helpless over the last two days.
After Buchholz kept them to just one run on five hits over eight innings in the Sox’ 3-1 win over the Jays on Monday, Rodriguez bounced back from his pitch-tipping fiasco and limited MLB’s most potent offense to just one run on four hits over six innings in a 4-3 win Tuesday night.
