Upton Jr. helps Jays to 3-2 win over Red Sox

Friday night's goat became one of the heroes of Saturday's victory for the Toronto Blue Jays as they evened up this pivotal three-game series at a win apiece with a 3-2 decision over the Boston Red Sox.

Melvin Upton, Jr., who made one error and misplayed two other balls in Friday's 13-3 embarrassing loss in the series opener, delivered a two-run home run to get things started for the Jays on Saturday.

With J.A. Happ dealing zeros through the first five innings, the Jays moved out to a 3-0 lead, then held on through the late innings for the win.
