There was plenty of rain at GRF this afternoon, but not enough to turn the same favor as yesterday. Toronto got five runs, all on homers, to even up the series 2-2 and send the Sox to Houston on a downer. Or a drowner.
Sox starter Reynaldo Lopez rolled through the first two innings on 20 pitches. Plenty of velocity - at one point he hit 98 - but wild in the zone. In the top of the third that caught up with him, as Jays left fielder Billy McKinney swatted a roller 370 feet to left to give the Jays a 1-0 lead.
