The Boston Red Sox turned to left-hander Ranger Suarez in the first game of a three-game series on the road against the Toronto Blue Jays, and he delivered a gem.
Suarez was dominant from the get-go as he didn’t allow a hit until a leadoff double by Jesus Sanchez in the bottom of the sixth. It was the only hit Suarez allowed, as he went eight shutout innings, while he also struck out 10 in a dominant outing. Following the game, Blue Jays manager John Schneider had nothing but praise for the left-hander.
“His pitches were unpredictable,” Schneider said of Suarez. “With his stuff, for one, but he was all around the box. Everyone's going to make mistakes, and when they do, you have to capitalize.
“I think it was just a combination of not doing that, and him being pretty stubborn by not living in the middle of the plate. That was the story tonight. ” The Blue Jays' offense struggled to hit Suarez, who dropped his ERA to 3.
