Boston’s 14-Run Barrage Completes Sweep of Jays

The runs just keep on coming in Canada. The Bruins may not have had luck up north this weekend, but Jon Lester and the Red Sox capped off a three game series in Toronto by annihilating the Blue Jays by a score of 14-1.

The offense was once again in full swing as they plated their second straight double-digit run game. Leading the way for Boston was Kevin Youkilis who reached base five times by going 3/4 with a HR, 4 RBI, and 2 BB. Not far behind was David Ortiz with his 17th HR of the season and 4 RBI of his own. Dustin Pedroia and Adrian Gonzalez also went yard for the Sox and Gonzalez added 2 RBI to bring his league-leading total to 60.

Not that they needed a stellar pitching performance, but Jon Lester gave them one anyway. The lefty pitched eight innings while allowing only one run on two hits with eight strikeouts. After a shaky May where he had a 5.50 ERA in 36.0 IP, Lester has settled down to win both of his starts in June to improve to 9-2.

As for Toronto, the lone bright spot was from none other than the best player in baseball, Jose Bautista, who went 1-3 with his league-leading 21st HR.
