Red Sox 8, Blue Jays 1
BOSTON — Jacoby Ellsbury hit a three-run homer, Jarrod Saltalamacchia drove in three runs and Jon Lester pitched six solid innings for the Red Sox, who won consecutive games for the first time this season. Boston, which still has the worst record in baseball, can win the series today. "That's great. (Today) will be a winning streak," first baseman Adrian Gonzalez said, breaking into a slight smile.
