Two Papi Dongs Weren't Enough

Posted on the 26 June 2012 by Theomnipotentq
Felix Doubront had nothing last night, and allowed seven runs in five innings to the Blue Jays, including four in the first inning.
The Sox came all the way back from 4-0 down to tie it, 5-5, by the fourth inning, as David Ortiz went deep for his 19th HR of 2012 in the first.
Doubront settled down but gave the lead back to 7-5 in the 5th. Matt Albers allowed a two-run shot to Jose Bautista in the 7th that made it 9-5, and then the rain came, and held the game up for two hours.
David Ortiz hit another blast in the 8th that made it 9-6, but that was as close as the Sox would come.
The Sox and Jays are once again tied for fourth place, 6 1/2 games behind New York.
