August 31, 2006 Blue Jays 6, Red Sox 4
| After their 9 game road tip, the Sox come back to Fenway but cannot continue their winning ways, losing to Toronto and falling 11 games behind the Blue Jays in the division. All the runs today scored off the two starters, Roy Halladay and Julian Tavaras, in the first 6 innings. The Jays jumped out in front 3-0 in their half of the 2nd inning, but the Sox got the three right back in the bottom of the 2nd with Dustin Pedroia's first big league homer, a 2-run shot, tying the game. Aaron Hill gave the Jays the lead back with a 2-run blast in the 5th, and the Blue Jays would not trail again. Halladay gets his 15th win, and the always tough B. J. Ryan retires the Sox 1-2-3 in the 9th for the save. |

WEB GEMS- Top 8th: Alex Cora robbed Troy Glaus of a base hit.
In a tight game it was the Toronto Blue Jays 6, the Boston Red Sox 4 at Fenway
Park.
Toronto took the lead for good in the 4th inning as they scored 2 runs on 2
base hits. The critical plate appearance was by Aaron Hill who quieted the
crowd when he cracked a two-run shot (his 6th of the season). Toronto won
despite being out-hit by Boston 11 hits to 7.
Roy Halladay(15-7) picked up the victory, allowing 4 runs in 6 and 1/3
innings. B.J. Ryan was credited with his 38th save. Julian Tavarez(5-2) was
the loser. He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 6 runs in 5 innings.
'I didn't have my best stuff but sometimes you just get lucky,' Halladay said,
'this was one of those times.'
