       BOSTON (AP) _ Hanley Ramirez hit a two-run homer, Rick Porcello held Toronto to one run over seven innings and the Boston Red Sox beat the Blue Jays 4-1 on Wednesday night.

        David Ortiz and Mookie Betts had RBI singles for the Red Sox, who took the three-game series after losing their previous two.

        Porcello (2-2) held the Blue Jays down one night after they put up 17 hits in an 11-8 win. He allowed two hits, struck out six and walked two in his best effort since joining the Red Sox.

        R.A. Dickey (0-3) allowed four runs and nine hits, striking out four without walking a batter in seven innings. He was 4-0 against Boston last season.

        Koji Uehara struck out all three batters in the ninth for his fourth save.
