Ellsbury injured on great catch

Posted by Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff August 24, 2008 02:16 PM

TORONTO - Jacoby Ellsbury made a great catch slamming up against the right field fence on Adam Lind's drive with one out in the fourth.

He came down hard and grabbed the right side of his face. Sox medical people ran out to right field to treat Ellsbury, who after an 8-minute delay, stayed in the game. The lapse in time, which had Toronto fans booing, saw Daisuke Matsuzaka throw several warm-up pitches to stay loose. After the delay, Lyle Overbay slammed a home run to right field, followed by a single by Matt Stairs.

It's 4-3 Toronto.

Let's watch A.J. Burnett, who is the type of pitcher who can suffer a momentary lapse as he did in the third inning when he gave up four runs and then settle down and shut you down. Burnett's throwing 96 mph.
