TORONTO (AP) — Jarren Duran hit a two-run homer, James Paxton and two relievers combined on a three-hitter, and the Boston Red Sox snapped a season-worst five-game losing streak by beating the Toronto Blue Jays 5-0 on Friday night.
Justin Turner and Masataka Yoshida each hit a solo home run, and Turner added a sacrifice fly for Boston, which totaled four runs in its previous four games.
Paxton (4-1) pitched a season-high 7 2/3 innings for his third straight win as the Red Sox improved to 5-0 against the Blue Jays. Toronto won 16 of 19 meetings last season.
