On a night when every starter in the lineup had at least one hit, Rick Porcello added 6.2 strong innings of pitching as the Red Sox rolled past Toronto 8-3 at Fenway Park.
Sandy Leon (pictured) led the hit parade with three, including his second home run of the year. He also drove in three Boston runs.
The Red Sox took an early 2-0 lead on RBI doubles by Mitch Moreland and J.D. Martinez in the bottom of the first inning. Andrew Benintendi made it 3-0 with another run-scoring double in the second.
Xander Bogaerts and Martinez each had two hits in the win; Bogaerts hit his eighth home run of the season in the bottom of the seventh.
Porcello scattered five hits and walked two as he improved his record to 7-2. Reliever Hector Velazquez loaded the bases in the ninth with one out but Craig Kimbrel got a strike out and a ground out to end the game for his 17th save of the year.
