BOSTON (AP) - Russell Martin broke a tie with a three-run triple in a nine-run seventh inning as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Boston Red Sox 13-10 by overcoming an 8-1 deficit Friday night.
The Blue Jays won their ninth straight game and scored at least six runs for the eighth time in that stretch.
The Red Sox suffered their fourth consecutive loss, one of the most disheartening in a season in which they are a season-worst eight games under .500 (27-35) and in last place in the AL East. They had a chance to tie it in the ninth when they loaded the bases after Xander Bogaerts singled in a run. But with two outs, Mike Napoli took a called third strike.
Brett Cecil gave up an RBI double in the ninth to Rusney Castillo but got his third save.
Steve Delabar (2-0) pitched a perfect sixth. Junichi Tazawa (0-2) took the loss.
