Champagne still on ice
Adam Lind powered the Blue Jays to an 8-7 win at Fenway Park on Tuesday night.
– Lind became the first visiting player to hit 3 homers at Fenway Park since Frank Thomas in 1996.
– He wouldn’t hit a fourth HR. Jonathan Papelbon drilled Lind with a 94-mph fastball in the elbow. Lind took the high road following the game, saying Papelbon’s pitch wasn’t intentional.
“He was just trying to get me out, trying to hit his spot,” Lind said. “He said he didn’t mean to. He said it twice. I kind of know people who know him and he’s a really nice guy.”
– Ricky Romero won his 13th game, matching Gustavo Chacin for the second-most wins by a rookie in club history. Mark Eichhorn won 14 games in 1986.
– Toronto belted six homers and has 31 round-trippers in the past 18 games.
– Clay Buchholz gave up three bombs. A former member of the Blue Jays organization said Buchholz has a tendency to tip his changeup. Wonder if the Blue Jays saw something?
– Watch Travis Snider (.236) and see if he leaks forward on the pitch. The Blue Jays want him to stay back, stay comfortable, then react to the pitch.
