That's what I'm saying, guy…

Bautista, quickly becoming a beast

Is it just me, or is it starting to feel like April and May again? The Jays won their seventh in eight games last night, beating the Red Sox 11-5 in seven innings at a wet Fenway Park. Toronto pounded a few Boston pitchers that you’ll likely never see pitch in a game between April and August (and never in October), scoring at least twice in four of the first five innings to put it away early.

Scott Richmond gave up four runs (on three homers) in six innings to win for the second straight outing, running his record to 8-10. The Jays hit three homers of their own, as Aaron Hill, Rod Barajas and Jose Bautista all went deep. Bautista’s was his ninth of the season and sixth this month.

The win was the Jays’ first at Fenway this season, meaning it couldn’t possibly be May. Boston, of course, was the cite of the first three of Toronto’s nine-game losing streak that started May 19 and pretty much ended any hope of this season being anything. The Jays were also swept at Fenway in late-August.

Ricky Romero and Clay Buchholz go in the second game of the set tonight.
