Red Sox go on the offensive in rout of Blue Jays

Baseball Betting Lines

07/09/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bill Hall finished 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, a two-run homer and drove in four as Boston torched Toronto, 14-3, in the opener of a three-game set from Rogers Centre.

Mike Cameron went 3-for-4 with a solo shot, knocked in three and scored three times for the Red Sox, who snapped a four-game slide. Kevin Youkilis homered and added two RBI, while Adrian Beltre also went deep and crossed the plate three times in the rout.

Jon Lester (11-3) yielded four hits and a pair of runs with six strikeouts over six strong innings to earn the victory for Boston, which finally rewarded manager Terry Francona with his 900th career win.

John McDonald and Jose Molina both homered for the Blue Jays, who saw their two-game win streak snapped and lost for the fourth time in six games.

Ricky Romero (6-6) was ripped in defeat for five hits and nine runs -- five earned -- with a trio of walks over just 2 1/3 frames.

The Sox blew open a close game in the third with seven runs.

Marco Scutaro and Darnell McDonald started the frame with singles and David Ortiz walked before a Youkilis sacrifice fly made it 4-0. Beltre walked to load the bases again, then an error on a fielder's choice at home scored McDonald. Cameron drew a walk to force in another run and Romero was pulled for Brian Tallet.

Hall's sac fly brought in Beltre for a 7-0 contest and after Kevin Cash walked to load the sacks once more, Scutaro dumped a two-run single and McDonald added an RBI hit to cap the rally at 10-0.

Tallet was victimized for three solo homers in the fourth -- Youkilis and Beltre went back-to-back to start the frame -- and Cameron added a one-out blast for a 13-0 score.

Hall's ground-rule double in the sixth drove in Daniel Nava for a 14-0 Red Sox edge, but Toronto's McDonald smashed one off the foul pole in left with one down in the home half to get the Jays on the board. John Buck later added an RBI double.

Molina's two-out solo homer in the seventh brought Toronto within 11 runs, but Robert Manuel did not give up a run for the remainder of his two-inning relief stint.

Dustin Richardson allowed a hit and walk in the ninth but closed the door on the Jays nonetheless.

Boston picked up three runs in the first on a Cameron RBI single and Hall's two-run homer.
