BOSTON (AP) — Jose Bautista, Colby Rasmus and J.P. Arencibia hit two-run homers Monday night to lead the Toronto Blue Jays to a 9-6 victory over Boston despite two home runs by David Ortiz that tied him for the most multihomer games in Red Sox history.
It was the fourth win in six games for Toronto, which overcame three errors and blew an early four-run lead.
Ortiz hit a two-run homer and a solo shot, his 37th multihomer game for the Red Sox, tying Ted Williams for the club record.
He has 398 career homers that ties Dale Murphy for 51st all-time.
Henderson Alvarez (4-6) pitched five innings then left with right elbow soreness. He allowed five runs — three earned — and six hits to snap a four-game losing streak.
Boston’s Felix Doubront (8-4) gave up seven runs — five earned — and 11 hits in six innings.
