Lowrie lifts sox over Jays in 11

Jed Lowrie homered to lead off the 11th inning to lift the Boston Red Sox to a 5-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday night.

The victory came after an embarrassing, season-worst 16-2 loss to the Blue Jays on Friday.

Boston catcher Victor Martinez drove in three runs to go along with a solid defensive play on a jarring collision. He held onto a relay throw as Lyle Overbay knocked him over for the final out of the fourth.

Former Blue Jay Marco Scutaro had a double, two singles and scored a pair of runs.

Overbay had a game-tying, two-run homer for Toronto after going 4-for-5 with a career-best seven RBIs in Friday's win.

Jonathan Papelbon (5-5) pitched a perfect inning for the win.
