Blue Jays 10 Red Sox 11
Of course, batters are ahead of pitchers early in spring training. Lots of scoring.
Pitching:
- Fernando Perez started for the Jays and had a rough time. It started with a Riley Tirotta error (playing first base). Then a hard line out to center. A double. A ground out, scoring the first run. A walk and a single, scoring another. And a double scoring two more. All unearned, but 4 runs scored, with Perez getting just two outs.

- Lazaro Estrada threw two scoreless innings, with 2 hits, 1 walks and 1 strikeout.
- Spencer Miles had a scoreless 5th, with a strikeout, single and walk.
- Yariel Rodríguez came in for the 6th, and he didn’t make a case for getting back on the roster. 5 hits and a walk, and 6 earned runs, while getting just two outs.
