Red Sox Pull Out Late Win, 2-1
The Boston Red Sox rode a solid performance from 31-year-old starting pitcher Nick Pivetta to a win, beating the Toronto Blue Jays, 2-1, at Rogers Centre. Corey Kluber came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. His record now stands at 1-0. The Red Sox, now 4-0, have been playing some good baseball.

Masataka Yoshida, who finished 5th in the AL in doubles with 39 last year, had a direct impact on the outcome. Yoshida contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the fourth inning to put Boston up, 1-0.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," said Pivetta. "But I like how we're playing right now."
