Devers homers in return as Red Sox beat Jays 10-5

TORONTO (AP) — Rafael Devers returned from the disabled list and hit a two-run home run, Brian Johnson pitched a season-high seven innings to win his second straight start and the Red Sox extended their winning streak to six games with a 10-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays 10-5 on Wednesday night.

J.D. Martinez had three hits and Xander Bogaerts had three RBIs for the AL East-leading Red Sox.

Devers, who had been out since July 28 because of a strained left hamstring, went 2 for 4 with a walk and scored twice.

Boston, which owns the best record in the major leagues at 81-34, has won 12 of 15 meetings with Toronto this season.
