That two game lead in the AL East for the Red Sox is now down to one game. A nail-biter 3-2 for the Jays over the Sox Saturday afternoon.

Eduardo Rodriguez pitched well for Boston but Toronto's J.A. Happ pitched better.

E-Rod pitched six innings. He gave up a 2-run homer to Melvin Upton Jr. and a bloop RBI hit to Jose Bautista for the Blue Jays three runs. One run was unearned.

The Sox runs came on a Dustin Pedroia home run and a sacrifice fly by Hanley Ramirez. Boston had only seven hits all day.

So, the three game series is tied 1-1 with a Sunday afternoon game next. The pregame Sunday starts at 12:20 with the 1st pitch at 1:07 on AM 1370 WDEA
