Bard Blows Away Jays in Seventh

Rookie Daniel Bard came in to pitch for the Red Sox in the seventh inning with the score still tied 5-5 and retired all three batters he faced without allowing a fair ball, striking out Randy Ruiz and Barajas with 100-mph fastballs. But even more impressive was the 85-mph curveball he threw to Barajas earlier in the at-bat. An 85-mph curveball? That's faster than Jamie Moyer's fastball!
