BOSTON (AP) - The Red Sox scored six runs in the first inning against a wild
Ricky Romero, David Ortiz hit his 399th career homer and Boston beat the Toronto
Blue Jays 10-4 on Wednesday for its fifth straight series win.
Adrian Gonzalez had three RBIs and Mike Aviles added two as the Red Sox
improved to 9-2 in their last 11 games.
Jon Lester (5-5) fell behind 1-0 in the first when he allowed a run-scoring
single to Colby Rasmus, but the Red Sox scored all the runs they needed in the
bottom half as Romero (8-2) threw 16 balls on his first 19 pitches.
Jose Bautista hit a solo shot, his major-league leading 25th homer of the
season for Toronto.
Ortiz made it 10-2 in the fifth with his 21st homer of the year. His 399
career homers are tied for 49th with Andres Galarraga and Al Kaline. Duke Snider
is 48th with 407.
