Ryan Weber gave the Boston Red Sox just what they needed on Thursday afternoon after a 13 inning win over the Blue Jays on Wednesday night. Weber allowed only one run on three hits in six innings to lift the Red Sox to an 8-2 win over the Blue Jays. Weber (1-0) didn’t issue a walk and struck out four to earn his second major league victory.
This will be the third start in Ryan Weber’s major league career of going at least six innings and allowing one run or fewer. He beat Strasburg in one of them, striking out 10. Who knew …
