Pedroia's double leads Red Sox past Blue Jays in extras

TORONTO -- Dustin Pedroia drove in the go-ahead run with a double in the 11th inning and the Boston Red Sox went on to defeat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 on Sunday afternoon.

Right-hander Clay Buchholz (3-5) entered the game in the 10th in his first relief appearance since being removed from the rotation and pitched around a single to earn the win as the Red Sox (30-20) salvaged one win from the three-game series to end Toronto's four-game winning streak.

Toronto right-hander Gavin Floyd (2-4) walked Blake Swihart with one out in the 11th. He walked Mookie Betts on a wild pitch that sent Swihart to third. Right-hander Drew Storen took over and allowed Pedroia's ground-rule double to right center field.

Betts scored on a groundout to shortstop by Xander Bogaerts, who earlier in the game extended his hit career-high streak to 22 games.

Koji Uehara pitched the bottom of the 11th to earn his first save of the season.

Edwin Encarnacion led off the eighth with his 10th homer of the season to tie the game at 3 for the Blue Jays (26-26).

Boston left-hander David Price allowed five hits, three walks and two runs while striking out three in 6 1/3 innings in his first appearance at Rogers Centre since being traded to the Blue Jays last season.

Toronto right-hander R.A. Dickey allowed three hits, four walks and three runs in 5 1/3 innings. He also hit a batter with the bases loaded.

Jose Bautista also homered for the Blue Jays.

The Blue Jays took a 2-0 lead in the fifth on the 11th home run of the season by Bautista, who jumped on the first pitch and drilled it to left. It came after Ezequiel Carrera led off with a single and Josh Thole struck out looking after failing in his two bunt attempts.

The Red Sox first hit was a one-out triple by Betts in the sixth. Dustin Pedroia followed with an RBI single to left. Bogaerts singled and Travis Shaw walked to load the bases.

Dickey hit Hanley Ramirez with a pitch to force in the tying run and was replaced by Chad Girodo, who walked Jackie Bradley Jr. to bring home Boston's third run.

Girodo was replaced by right-hander Jesse Chavez who struck out Josh Rutledge and retired Christian Vazquez on a fly to right to end the inning.

Price left in the seventh after Carrera led off with an infield to first when Shaw slipped and fell after fielding the chopper and was sacrificed to second by Thole.

Heath Hembree replaced Price and finished the inning with a strikeout of Bautista and a fly to right by Donaldson.

After Encarnacion's game-tying homer in the eighth, Justin Smoak followed with a single. Darwin Barney singled with one out. Jimmy Paredes ran for Smoak at second base.

Kevin Pillar flied out and left-hander Robbie Ross Jr. entered to retire pinch-hitter Russell Martin on a grounder to third.

Blue Jays right-hander Joe Biagini pitched a perfect eighth and survived two ninth-inning singles.

The Blue Jays put two runners on base against Ross in the ninth on Josh Donaldson's two-out single to right and a walk by Encarnacion.

Paredes, who stayed in the game to play right field with Bautista moving to first base, struck out to send the game to extra innings.

The Blue Jays' Roberto Osuna extended his streak to 14 2/3 scoreless innings when he pitched around a single, a walk and two wild pitches in the 10th.

NOTES: Boston DH David Ortiz (sore left foot) was a late scratch from the lineup and is listed as day-to-day. Ortiz struck out on a pitch from RHP Marcus Stroman that hit him on the foot Saturday but was able to continue. ... The Red Sox suffered their first walk-off loss of the season Saturday when the Blue Jays scored twice in the bottom of the ninth to win 10-9. ... The Blue Jays continue their six-game homestand against AL East rivals when they open a three-game series with the Yankees on Monday. Toronto RHP Marco Estrada (2-2, 2.76 ERA) will oppose New York RHP Ivan Nova (3-2, 3.65 ERA) in the opener. Estrada has the worst run support of any Toronto starting pitcher at 2.5 runs per game. ... The Red Sox start a four-game series at Baltimore on Monday. Boston RHP Steven Wright (4-4, 2.52 ERA) will open against Orioles RHP Tyler Wilson (2-3, 3.80 ERA). ... Red Sox C Ryan Hanigan will likely start behind the plate Monday after nursing a sore neck.
