The Sox did not have a hit until 1 out in the 4th inning. The Blue Jays had a hit with 0 outs in the 1st. The Sox did not score until the 4th. The Jays scored 4 times in the 1st. The game was over before it began.
The only way the Sox could win this game was if DiNardo pulled out a great start AND Halladay didn't have his good stuff for some reason. DiNardo did not pull out a great start AND Halladay had his good stuff.
The Sox offense was abysmal against Halladay and the Jays bullpen. Just look at these terrible individual numbers:
Youkilis: 1/4, 0 R, 0 RBI, 0 BB, 0 K, 3 LOB
Loretta: 0/4, 0 R, 0 RBI, 0 BB, 1 K, 4 LOB
Ortiz: 0/4, 0 R, 0 RBI, 0 BB, 1 K, 2 LOB
Snow: 0/4, 0 R, 0 RBI, 0 BB, 1 K, 1 LOB
Mohr: 0/4, 0 R, 0 RBI, 0 BB, 2 K, 1 LOB
Cora: 0/2, 0 R, 0 RBI, 1 BB, 0 K, 0 LOB
As a team the Sox went 6/34 (.176), got on base 8 out of 36 appearances (.222 OBP) and had 8 total bases (.235 slugging and .458 OPS).
The pitching was not much better. DiNardo went 3+ allowing 10 hits, 7 earned runs, with a walk, a K, and a homer. Van Buren came in and allowed 2 inherited runners to score. He also allowed an earned run of his own.
The Jays hit .406 as a team yesterday, they slugged .625 with 4 extra-basehits.
The Man of the Game is Vernon Wells again who went 3 for 4 with a 2 run triple, and a pair of infield singles. He also scored a run.
Here is the B*tch-Goat:
DiNardo: 0.5 - 3 IP, 7 ER
Van Buren: 0.1 - 3 IP, ER
Loretta: 0.1 - 0/4, 4 LOB
Ortiz: 0.1 - 0/4, 2 LOB
Snow: 0.1 - 0/4
Mohr: 0.1 - 0/4, 2 Ks
Clement looks to stop this skid (3 straight losses, 5-6 over the last 11) as he faces former Oriole Josh Towers. No matter what happens, this is the 2nd series the Sox have lost this season, both to Toronto. Going back to 2005, this is the 3rd time the Sox have failed to win a series against Toronto.
