Maile, Jays spoil Sale’s 15K night

-

TORONTO — Luke Maile hit two home runs, including a two-run shot in the 12th inning that gave the Toronto Blue Jays a 5-3 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Friday night.

Maile's drive off Boston's Brian Johnson (1-2) improved the Blue Jays to 5-0 in extra innings after they overcame an impressive outing by Red Sox starter Chris Sale.

Curtis Granderson walked to begin the 12th and Maile followed with a drive to right. Maile also hit a game-tying homer off Sale in the seventh. It was the first multihomer game of his career. Maile went 3-for-5 with three RBIs.

Sale matched his career high by striking out 15 over a season-high nine innings. He allowed three runs and six hits, and walked none.

The lefthander is the third pitcher in Red Sox history to strike out 15 while walking none.

Sale struck out six straight batters over the fourth and fifth innings, getting all six swinging.
