To make matters worse, Toronto was without slugger, Jose Bautista and had just been the victims of a sweep themselves. The perpetrator of that feat was none other than the Red Sox’s arch nemesis, New York Yankees.
In game one, on Friday, Boston was only able to scratch out one run in the bottom of the ninth in the 6-1 loss. With that, Josh Beckett’s record dropped to 5-8 on the year.
