Analysis: Buchholz allowed just one run while lowering his American League-leading ERA to 1.73. He also matched the best start by a Boston pitcher since Josh Beckett in 2007 and joined Tampa Bay's Matt Moore and Arizona's Patrick Corbin as the only unbeaten pitchers in the majors with seven or more wins.

Analysis: Buchholz had his bid to become baseball's first seven-game winner foiled for the second straight time. He's surrendered six runs over his last two starts after allowing five in his first six outings, though his ERA remains a highly impressive 1.69.

Former major league pitcher Dirk Hayhurst, now a broadcast analyst for the Blue Jays, told Toronto radio station Sportsnet 590 The Fan on Thursday that Buchholz was "absolutely" cheating in Wednesday's start. Buchholz (6-0) leads the majors in wins and the AL in ERA (1.01).
Analysis: An article on the Sportsnet website included photographs of Buchholz, including one showing him wiping his first two fingers across his forearm, which appeared to be partially covered with a white substance. Buchholz brushed aside the allegations, saying he puts rosin on his arm and occasionally wets his fingers to get a better grip. Farrell insisted the photos were "false" and backed Buchholz's claim about rosin.
