A crucial stretch of games against the division-leading Boston Red Sox got off to an inauspicious start for the Blue Jays. He was placed on the injured list and will no longer be available to make Tuesday’s start against the Red Sox. Then Ross Stripling topped an all-around bad day for the Jays’ rotation with a nightmarish performance in 13-4 blowout loss to Boston. Before the first was over, the Red Sox hit three homers and two doubles, scored eight runs and sent 11 batters to the plate. A correction had been expected for awhile, that it came at the hands of the Red Sox shouldn’t be overly surprising.
