Bobby Valentine might think it's the worst September roster in baseball history, but the younger parts of it came through on Friday night in
an 8-5 win over Toronto at SkyDome.
Mauro Gomez had a key two-run triple in the ninth to break a 5-5 tie, and also scored two runs.
Ryan Lavarnway clouted a game-tying three-run homerun and drove in four.
Daniel Nava nailed two big two-out RBIs. Daisuke Matsuzaka had a typically bizarre outing—and yet left with a 5-3 lead and a chance for a win. He went 5 1/3, giving up four runs on just 3 hits. Of course, he threw 98 pitches. The win pulls the Red Sox within a game of the Jays in this weekend's Stupor Bowl Series for last place.
