BOSTON (AP) - The Toronto Blue Jays took advantage after Josh
Beckett was scratched from his scheduled start, scoring seven runs
off substitute Michael Bowden to beat the Boston Red Sox 11-5
Monday night in a game that was called in the seventh inning
because of rain.

It was the fourth straight loss for Boston, which could have
clinched the AL wild card with a victory and a Texas loss to the
Los Angeles Angels later Monday night.

Jose Bautista, Aaron Hill and Rod Barajas homered for the Blue
Jays, who had lost six straight games to the Red Sox and eight in a
row at Fenway Park. Scott Richmond (8-10) gave up four runs on six
hits and two walks, striking out three in six innings to win his
second consecutive start after going 0-6 in his previous 10.
