This game had it all. An hour long rain delay. Loads of home runs, including a walk-off winner. Even a benches clearing brawl that led to Ken Phelps and Andy Hawkins being ejected.

The Jays lost their 4th straight, falling 7-5 to the Red Sox.

Eiich Hasegawa homered twice and Phelps homered once.

It seems that Phelps is now facing a five game suspension for his actions after being plunked by Hawkins.
