As noted on Monday, Toronto has been no place for our beloved. Coming into this series the Sox have only won three games north of the border in the last four years. Tonight, they won their third consecutive game and really, they should've swept this sorry team if not for dropping Monday's contest.
Francisco Liriano pitched very well tonight only giving up two runs in the 2nd off a Moises Sierra home run. Liriano worked 6 1/3 and gave up only three hits in addition to the two runs.
The Sox fought back right away cutting the Blue Jay lead to 2-1 with a Dewayne Wise solo shot. Dayan Viciedo and Tyler Flowers went back to back in the 5th to give the Sox a 3-2 lead.
Alex Rios belted a three run home run in the 7th which shut up loud Toronto fans that were ragging on Rios the whole series. Granted, I among many other Sox fans ragged on Rios over the last few years so Alex has done a great job with silencing his critics this year.

Alexei Ramirez added one more home run in the same inning just for good measure to secure the victory. This is the first time since 2005 the Sox have won the season series against the Blue Jays.
On to more good news; Paul Konerko is expected to join the team in Kansas City tomorrow and play in the opening of a three game series against the Royals. His bat will be needed as the Royals (for some reason) only love to play well against our Sox. So far the Sox are 4-5 against K.C. and Kauffman Stadium is another house of horrors for the Pale House.
