Blue Jays walk off Red Sox, 10-9, as Travis scores Martin
TORONTO (AP) Devon Travis drove home Russell Martin with two out in the bottom of the ninth as the Toronto Blue Jays rallied to beat the Boston Red Sox 10-9 on Saturday.
With the Blue Jays trailing 9-8 on a David Ortiz home run in the top of the inning, Boston closer Craig Kimbrel retired Edwin Encarnacion and Michael Saunders. But Justin Smoak singled on a line drive to center, and with Ezequiel Carrera pinch running for Smoak, Martin drove in his third run of the day on a double to tie the game.
After Martin advanced to third on a wild pitch, Travis forced third baseman Travis Shaw to stretch to corral a shot, and though he tried to throw out Travis at first, his throw was dropped by Hanley Ramirez and Martin scored.
The walk-off win was Toronto's second of the season.
Reliever Gavin Floyd (2-3) got the win. Kimbrel (0-2) got the loss.
