The Red Sox extend their winning streak to 8 games with a 5-3 win over the Blue Jays, which completes the sweep in Toronto. The Red Sox started the game off right, scoring twice in the first inning off Jays starter Roy Halladay. The Jays would also start the game out strong with a leadoff home run from Alexis Rios, but that would end up being the only run that Sox starter Julian Tavarez would allow over his 6 innings of work. The Sox would add 3 more runs to eventually take a 5-1 lead, and Joel Pineiro and Brendan Donnelly would hold down that lead for the win. Donnelly earns his first save of the season in place of Jonathan Papelbon, who has been overworked thanks to all the save opportunities so far this season.

The Sox also continued their speedster ways, with 3 stolen bases in this game. Look at the box score to see who got in on the fun!
