Red Sox' rally falls short in 5-4 loss to Blue Jays

On a dreary afternoon at Fenway Park, Blue Jays starter Marco Estrada made sure the home crowd didn't have much to cheer for the first eight innings.

For the second time in a three-game set, the Jays received outstanding starting pitching, and the Sox lost as a ninth-inning rally fell short, 5-4.

Friday night, knuckleballer R.A. Dickey carried a no-hitter into the sixth inning. This afternoon, he was one-upped by his teammate.

Estrada didn't allow a hit through seven, and was five outs away from a no-no when Chris Young ended the bid with a solo shot in the eighth.
