       TORONTO (AP) – Mike Napoli hit a three-run homer, Pablo Sandoval added a two-run shot and the Boston Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-3 on Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.

        Clay Buchholz (2-4) allowed three runs in 6 1-3 innings for his first victory in six starts. The last-place Red Sox won for just the second time in nine games.

        Junichi Tazawa pitched 1 2-3 innings and Koji Uehara finished for his sixth save.

        Carl Willis joined the Red Sox for his first game as their new pitching coach. He replaced Juan Nieves, who was fired Thursday.

        R.A. Dickey (1-4) lost for the third time in four starts, allowing six runs in six innings.
