Look up 'enigma' in the dictionary, and there will likely be a picture of
Clay Buchholz. At once, the most talented (sometimes) and frustrating (nearly all the time) starter in the last decade, Buchholz put on a show last night. Going eight strong innings, he gave up just one earned run in
Boston's 3-1 win over Toronto. Buchholz used his entire four-pitch arsenal to stymie one of the most prolific offenses in all of baseball. On
our offensive side, the first three hitters in the Boston order were dynamic—
Mookie Betts went 2-4 and scored two runs,
Brock Holt went 1-3 with an RBI and
Xander Bogaerts went 1-4 with two RBIs. Boston has crept to within seven games of the top-spot in the AL East—and has won 8 of their last 13. Could it be the start of something good?
