Red Sox Tack 9-8 Loss on Blue Jays
The Boston Red Sox defeated the Toronto Blue Jays, 9-8, in AL action at SkyDome 1989-2015. Alex Avila pulled his weight. The 11-year veteran went 2 for 4 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3. Earning his 14th save of the year was Aroldis Chapman. The third-place Red Sox have won 4 in a row.

With Boston trailing 5-4 in the top of the fifth, Avila hit a fastball from Jose Ceda for a 3-run home run. It was his 11th home run of the season and put the Red Sox ahead, 7-5.

"No time for posing," said Avila. "The next game will be here before you know it."
