TORONTO -- With a chance to capture their first four-game winning streak of the season and put a charge into their recent momentum, the Red Sox turned the ball over to Rick Porcello in their afternoon start against the Blue Jays.
Before many in the sell-out crowd at Rogers Centre were able to take their seats following the Canada Day celebrations, Porcello had already begun to crumble against MLB’s top-ranked offense.
While Clay Buchholz and Eduardo Rodriguez were able to keep the Jays’ silent, Porcello allowed two monster home runs in the first inning, another one in the second and wasn’t given a chance to start the third, having allowed seven runs over two innings of work for his shortest start in two years.
