Christian Vazquez's two-run opposite field homer in the bottom of the tenth inning helped the Red Sox top the Blue Jays 7-5 Friday night at Fenway Park.
Boston came all the way back from a 5-1 deficit for the win, their eighth win in their last nine games.
Chris Sale started and went five innings, charged with four runs on seven hits and a pair of walks. He struck out eight on a night where he clearly wasn't sharp.
Trailing 5-1 in the seventh, Mookie Betts hit a one-out triple and came around to score on a single by Andrew Benintendi. Xander Bogaerts doubled a run home, followed by an RBI single by J.D. Martinez.
Jackie Bradley Jr. tripled in the eighth with one out and came in on a single by Rafael Devers.
In the tenth, Marco Hernandez was hit by a pitch with two out, which was followed by the Vazquez game-winning blast.
Brandon Workman was the winner with a scoreless inning of relief.
