"Marcum's pitched great," said Toronto manager Cito Gaston. "His record really doesn't show the way he's pitched. He's pitched outstanding. We just haven't been able to give him any runs a lot of the time. Even today, three runs, but he managed to hang on."
Marcum (2-1) allowed just two singles to David Ortiz, struck out six and walked one. It's the seventh time in eighth starts this year he's given up three or fewer runs. He entered with a .232 opponents' batting average, the second-lowest against an AL starter.
