Jose Bautista, Darwin Barney and Teoscar Hernandez homered for the Blue Jays, who hit 10 home runs in the three-game series. He had only allowed two earned runs in his previous three starts against Boston this season. Bogaerts had three hits and drove in four runs, including a three-run homer in the third to make it 9-4.Įstrada allowed eight runs - seven earned - nine hits and a walk, striking out two while recording just seven outs and losing for the first time in six decisions. “Hopefully he’s getting adapted a little bit more to the role.” “The three appearances he’s made for us out of the bullpen, they’ve been extremely consistent and powerful,” Farrell said. 14 he is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA, striking out nine in six innings.

It was his third relief appearance since returning on Sept. Price pitched 1 1/3 perfect innings, striking out three, as he works his way back from left elbow problems that kept him on the disabled list for most of the year. “After a rough start to the ballgame, he settled down just enough,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said. With a chance to become baseball’s first 20-game loser since 2003, Porcello went 2-0 with a no-decision in his last three starts. A year after winning a career-high 22 games to earn AL Cy Young honours, the 28-year-old right-hander posted the most losses in his career. Porcello allowed five runs, seven hits and two walks, striking out eight in 5 2/3 innings. The Red Sox scored one in the first and three in the second and then took a 9-4 lead in the third to chase Marco Estrada (10-9) and snap a two-game losing streak.


Hanley Ramirez and Xander Bogaerts homered in a five-run third inning for Boston after Porcello (11-17) gave up the three runs in the first.
