Blue Jays 7, Red Sox 6
Jose Bautista and Adam Lind both drove in a run and scored a run in the decisive seventh inning as the visiting Toronto Blue Jays handed the Boston Red Sox their third straight loss, 7-6, on Friday.
Aaron Hill added three hits and an RBI and Corey Patterson tripled in a pair for the Blue Jays, who moved back above .500 at 7-6 on the season.
The Red Sox own the worst record in the majors at 2-10.
Clay Buchholz escaped a jam in the first inning and it looked as though Boston was in good shape when home runs by Dustin Pedroia and Kevin Youkilis in the third gave it a 3-0 edge.
But Brett Cecil (1-1) would not allow any more damage and Toronto made its way back into it in the middle innings. Patterson's triple cut the deficit to one at 3-2 and knotted the contest in the sixth inning when Travis Snider doubled in a run.
The Blue Jays grabbed the lead in the seventh, scoring four runs off Bobby Jenks (0-1) on four singles, a walk and a wild pitch.
Boston took one more stab at it in the eighth, pushing across three runs, but Jon Rauch came on in the ninth and retired the side to earn his third save for Toronto.
