June 15, 1985: Toronto Blue Jays (31-28) @ Boston Red Sox (35-23)
Wily veteran Doyle Alexander up on the hill for the Jays today with Bob Ojeda going for us. Scary to think it is five years since Doyle and I first crossed paths while I was at LA and he was a Brave. We’ve kinda shared the spoils since them, as I’ve gone 5-for-22 with an RBI double. He’s got a nifty change of pace and just always seems to have me off-balance. I made some adjustments in this regard over the offseason so let’s see if they help any. Other than a few scattered clouds, it is a beau-ti-ful day for baseball in front of a healthy Saturday afternoon Boston crowd.

Game Recap
I just miss hitting one out in the 1st but it still opens the scoring as a sac fly without the need of a hit after Lyons walked, swiped second and went to third on an error. In fact, we are still hitless when they tie it up in the top 4th before finally going back ahead when Dewey Evans doubles and scores on a single by Geds.
Little else to report, really, as the pitching dominance holds all the way through. Ojeda gives up just 3 hits himself over 8 and Crawford lands his 9th save of the season to give us our 5th win on the go. Ah ohfer ends Jim Rice's hitting streak at 22 games.
