Baseball Betting Lines
08/10/2010 - Toronto, ON (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Mike Lowell hit the go-ahead home run and Jed Lowrie added an insurance RBI double in the eighth inning, as Boston clipped Toronto, 7-5, in the opener of a three-game set at Rogers Centre.
Lowrie and Lowell both drove in two runs, while David Ortiz doubled twice and J.D. Drew homered for the Red Sox, who were coming off a four-game split with the Yankees in the Bronx.
Felix Doubront (1-1) coughed up the lead in the sixth but was credited with the win. Jonathan Papelbon turned in a scoreless ninth for his 29th save.
Travis Snider doubled and hit a three-run shot while Jose Bautista and Adam Lind hit solo homers for the Blue Jays, who had won five of six coming in.
Shawn Camp (3-2) took the loss after allowing three hits and two runs while recording two outs in the eighth.
Lowell's two-out solo shot in the eighth once again put Boston in the lead by a 6-5 count, then Ryan Kalish followed with a single and Lowrie drove him in with a double off the top of the wall in center.
That was enough for Manny Delcarmen, who retired Toronto in order in the home half. In the ninth, Papelbon allowed a one-out double to Snider but retired Bautista on a grounder and Aaron Hill on a flyout to clinch the win.
The Sox scored three times in the second on Adrian Beltre's RBI double, Lowrie's ground-rule double and a Jacoby Ellsbury single. Lind hit a one-out solo shot in the home half.
Lowell's sacrifice fly with the bases loaded in the fourth gave the Sox a three-run edge but Snider's monster three-run blast in Toronto's turn tied the game, 4-4.
Drew launched a solo homer into the second deck of right field in the fifth to put the Sox back on top, then the Jays came up empty in the home half despite chasing Matsuzaka -- leaving the bases loaded.
No worries for the Jays, though, as Bautista slugged his 35th homer of the season to left for a 5-5 deadlock in the seventh.
