Thursday, July 20, 2017
Pomeranz has now won four straight games, and has not lost since June 11.

Red Sox Roll
The Red Sox offense exploded for four runs in the second inning to take a 4-0 lead over Toronto.
The offensive outburst was led by Pedroia and Devin Marrerro, who each had two-run singles with two outs in the inning to help the Red Sox build their lead.
Boston would add a run in the fourth inning when Pedroia hit an infield single that scored Mookie Betts and give Boston a 5-0 lead.
The Blue Jays would get on the board in the 5th to cut Boston’s lead to 5-1, but they would get no closer.
Series Continues
The Red Sox and Blue Jays wrap up their series on Thursday, July 20 at 1:35 p.m.
