Sox tie it

Posted by Nick Cafardo, Globe Staff August 24, 2008 03:08 PM

TORONTO - The good news is that Daisuke Matsuzaka only allowed one (intentional) walk over six innings. The bad news is the Jays scored two runs in the sixth to take a 5-4 lead.

Vernon Wells' double knocked in Alex Rios (single) with the tying run. With Wells on third and one out, the Sox ordered an intentional walk to Matt Stairs to pitch to Rod Barajas. Barajas pulled a 3-2 pitch down the third base line scoring Wells while Stairs was gunned down at the plate trying to score the second Jays' run.

The Sox came back against A.J. Burnett in the top of the seventh. Coco Crisp homered to lead off the inning.
