A fourth of July game and it is held in Toronto? Silly scheduling but there WERE fireworks! Pedro Alvarez had tied the game up with a solo shot earlier and the next time he was up, Andrew Bailey came head-hunting. A brawl ensued (and Alvarez got off a nasty haymaker), and both were ejected and received NINE game suspensions!
His wasn't the only homer, though, as Brett Lawrie joined the fun as the Jays beat the Red Sox 5-1.
Some extra bad news is that R.A. Dickey had to leave the game with an unknown ailment.
WP - Aaron Crow (5-2)
LP - Alfredo Aceves (2-5)
Record - 43-39
The win puts Toronto behind Boston by only .5 game for the Wild Card and 1.5 behind Baltimore for the AL East.
