Kyle Synder pitched the game of his life (7-2-0-2-8, 94), Mike Lowell hit another home run, the eventual winning run scored on a Ted Lilly balk, Bengie Molina was thrown out trying to advance to third on a fly ball to right (snuffing out a Toronto rally in the 8th) and the trio of Jonathan Papelbon, Craig Breslow and Mike Timlin quieted the Jays (eventually) in the ninth.
Papelbon started the inning, but after allowing two singles and a force play, he made a wild pickoff throw to second base, then left the game holding his right shoulder. He was also stretching out his neck after a few earlier pitches, so maybe it's just a twinge/pinched nerve of some sort. ... This injury shit is surreal.
Breslow came with a 2-2 count on Lyle Overbay, and struck him out. Timlin allowed an infield single to Alex Rios that brought in one run, but he got Molina on a grounder to short to save the victory.
It looks like we'll gain a game in the wild card. Now only 5.5 games back, with three games against the White Sox next week.

Enlarged lymph nodes could indicate many different things. It could be serious without being cancer - or it could be not very serious.
Lester positive for lymphoma...a "treatable" cancer. See my blog
i hate to say it...so sad
I just saw here on JoS. Scary stuff - and increasingly common in our toxic world.
Very treatable indeed.
And as a total o non sequitur...Snyder`s mowing down the Jays after six.
the Sox are 13-2 in the games I've been to this season.
We need to start a fund to enable you to see every remaining game this season. $$$
