David Price, just off the injured list, pitched well giving up two runs, both unearned, in his five innings of work. Boston used four home runs to win in a rout.
Toronto scored its two runs during the second inning on an error by Boston’s Michael Chavis that allowed Billy McKinney to reach base. After a ground out, Luke Maile blasted a ball over the left field fence knocking in the Blue Jays two runs. However, Toronto could not score off Price nor the Boston bullpen following Maile’s home run.
