BOSTON'S Dustin Pedroia, Jacoby Ellsbury and Josh Reddick homered as the Red Sox rallied from an early three-run deficit to beat the Tampa Bay Rays 9-5 in the American League on Saturday.
Reddick's two-run homer got Boston rolling after Casey Kotchman, Matt Joyce and B.J. Upton all hit first-inning RBI singles to give Tampa Bay's All-Star pitcher James Shields (8-8) a quick lead.
Ellsbury went deep for the second day in a row with a solo shot off Shields in the fourth. Boston starter John Lackey (7-8) struck out seven while allowing four runs over 5 2-3 innings for the AL East leaders.
In Toronto, C.C. Sabathia won his seventh straight start to become the first 14-game winner in the majors, guiding New York 4-1 past Toronto.
Sabathia (14-4) allowed one run in eight innings.
Brett Gardner had three hits while Derek Jeter had two, matching Al Kaline for 26th place on baseball's career list.
Blue Jays starter Ricky Romero (7-9) has now failed to pitch into the seventh in three straight games after doing so in each of his previous eight outings. He allowed four runs in five innings as Toronto's five-game winning trot came to an end.
Also, it was: Rangers 5, Mariners 1; White Sox 5, Tigers 0; Angels 4, Athletics 2, 1st game; Orioles 6, Indians 5; Twins 4, Royals 3.
In the National League, Scott Hairston, subbing for ailing All-Star Carlos Beltran, hit a long homer and drove in a career-best five runs as the New York Mets hammered the Philadelphia Phillies 11-2.
In other action, it was: Nationals 5, Braves 2; Cardinals 4, Reds 1; Padres 11, Giants 3; Brewers 8, Rockies 7; Diamondbacks 3, Dodgers 2; Marlins 13, Cubs 3; and Astros 6, Pirates 4.
