After the ump got nailed in the face mask on a Porcello tipped fastball, he needed to be replaced and the home ump changed took about 10 minutes. Porcello now had to resume the inning after standing around and now with a new ump who proceeded in calling a 3rd strike a ball to load the bases.
The next batter gets hit by a pitch but clearly swung and was well over the front of the plate. Despite a protest, the call stood.
Porcello was lucky to get out of the inning (3rd) giving up 3 runs when it could easily have been a 6 run inning for Toronto.
The Sox come back in the 4th on a leadoff homer by Bogaerts and tied it in the 5th on a base clearing double by Petey. As the 5th continued, Ortiz gets hit by a pitch on a swing that is eerily similar to the one called a HBP in the 3rd inning but this time he was called out on the strike-out! Ramirez ended the top of 5th on a 2-run hit that he was called out trying to stretch into a double but Sox take the lead 5-3 as Porcello retakes the mound in the bottom of the 5th ... he got screwed in the 3rd but is now winning the game ... Good luck Porc, you deserve the win for what you had to endure in the 3rd.
