The Red Sox responded to a two-game mini-slump with a resoundingly one-sided 14-0 victory last night against the Blue Jays. Boston scored early and often with four runs in the first inning and 10 runs off of Toronto starter Luis Perez, who lasted just 2.2 innings. Boston pounded the Jays for 20 hits. David Ortiz and Marco Scutaro combined for an 8-11 performance with six RBI and five RBI. Scutaro was 4-5 (three doubles) with four RBI.

The Red Sox are competitive with the Yankees head-to-head. They don't have a lot of trouble with the Angels. And both of those teams are headed for October. So why can't the Sox do anything against the going-nowhere KC Royals?
Where to begin? Two of our local teams played yesterday, and two of them won. Let's start with the Bruins, who needed this win much much more. The story was poised to be another in a terrible series of "why can't this team score" rants, until there were 26 seconds left. With Tim Thomas pulled for an extra skater, Andrew Ference picked a hell of a time to score his first goal of the season, beating Martin Biron to tie the game. That sent it to OT, and made sure that at the very least, Philly wouldn't gain any ground on the B's.
