MLB Season Review: Boston Red Sox beat Toronto Blue Jays 3-1 in four-game series
American League’s Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays both fought well in a thrilling four game series. Boston did a noticeable job as they sealed a 3-1 victory in this series after defeating the Blue Jays convincingly. Red Sox have had a remarkable season
so far as they got an acceptable Win-Loss record during the early part of the season.
Let us take a brief summary of these exciting games:

to mean anything tomorrow because we lost, but, always, we've got to give ourselves a chance. We're looking for positives.”
On the other side, Red Sox batters were able to add only six runs right through the complete game. Clay Buchholz pitched well for the Red Sox but that was not enough to steal a win for his team. He was able to strike-out three batters during his 94 pitches
