During the third inning of yesterday’s 16-4 win for the Boston Red Sox over the Toronto Blue Jays, home plate umpire Mark Carlson forgot how many strikes there were.
John Lackey was behind in the count 2-1 to Yunel Escobar when Lackey threw a fastball that was called for a strike. But Carlson apparently forgot the count and rang up Escobar.
